Light & dark variegato

Applying the classic Italian variegato technique often gives a beautiful marble-like look to your gelato and ice cream. To maximise the effect, you may want to use contrasting colours and flavours. In this case, a white chocolate ice cream is mixed with a ready-to-use hazelnut cream. The trick is not to mix for too long to achieve the perfect marbling.
