Iced confection is a term used to describe a variety of frozen desserts, such as ice cream, sorbet, and gelato. Gelato is an Italian-style ice cream that is denser than regular ice cream due to the lower air content and higher fat content. It is usually served at a slightly warmer temperature than regular ice cream, which gives it a smoother texture. Gelato is also known for its intense flavor, which is often achieved by using more concentrated ingredients.
