How to Make Stracciatella Cheesecake
Stracciare in Italian means “to shred.” It’s from here that we get the word “stracciatella,” which you will see in pretty much any given gelateria in Italia. If you have ever been fortunate enough to have a cup or cone of stracciatella gelato, you know its main feature are the “shredded” chocolate chunks.
Just in case you don’t have a gelateria nearby, now you can have those same stracciatella flavors at home with this very snackable cheesecake!

For the GELATIN
Melt it in hot cream (not boiling). Once dissolved, let it sit for 5 minutes before adding it to the mixture. For best results for the whipped cream, make sure the liquid cream is at room temperature; you don’t want it to be directly from the fridge. Assuring the mixture is at room temp will also work better for the gelatin once it is dissolved and added.
