Argentina: ice cream the Italian way
Argentine helado is closer to dense Italian gelato than to scooped ice cream, served in towering paper cups packed by skilled scoopers. Beyond dulce de leche, look for sambayón (zabaglione, often laced with marsala) and granizado (chocolate-chip cream). Buenos Aires is the heartland: classic 1950s heladerías sit beside slick modern chains, and many deliver to your door late into the night. Ordering a «cuarto» (quarter kilo) with two or three flavours is the local way.
Heir to Italian immigration, Argentina serves an exceptional creamy helado, with dulce de leche as the star.
Thanks to its Italian heritage, Argentina has one of the world's great ice-cream cultures; dulce de leche reigns supreme.
