stracciatella

Italian chocolate chip

Stracciatella names two Italian preparations.

The first is a soup of chicken or meat broth with beaten egg stirred in, forming wispy strands as it cooks: a bowl of stracciatella on a cold night.

The second is a gelato or ice cream variety with chocolate shavings folded into a plain base, creating similar ribbons throughout.

Both derive from an Italian word meaning "torn" or "shredded."
