Gelato Alla Fragola, or strawberry gelato, is a mouth-watering frozen dessert that originated in Italy. It's typically made from whole milk, cream, sugar and fresh strawberries which gives it a creamy texture and a sweet fruity flavor. Unlike other frozen desserts, gelato contains less air and fat, which makes it denser and richer in flavor.

2.	In a food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
3.	Add the sugar and lemon juice and mix well.
4.	Add the milk and cream to a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat.
5.	Add the pureed strawberry mixture to the milk mixture and whisk until well combined.
6.	Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
7.	Once chilled and firm, transfer to a container and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours before serving.
