When master gelato maker Massimiliano Scotti (https://shorturl.at/a3Op3) from Italy, the home of gelato, arrived in Myanmar he saw potential in all the local products and started experimenting. During his brief stay in the country, he created a unique papaya salad ice cream infused with mint, lime, coriander, chilies, and peanuts, along with mango and cream, and chocolate-chili ice cream served on crispy pork belly.
Chef Massimiliano Scotti has dedicated his career to sourcing the finest ingredients for his gelato. During his search, he discovered exceptional ingredients in Myanmar and plans to bring them back to Italy to enrich his recipes.
Massimiliano looks for authenticity, care, and love in his gelato recipes — and coconut gelato is no different. And while it is packed with all three, it takes a special type of chef to elevate this simple combo to another level (especially as it was created during a power cut).
