GELATO

There are many different styles of gelato; we have chosen two styles, sugar syrup and custard based. Sugar syrup gelato has a light refreshing taste with a hint of creaminess to them while a custard based gelato has

a creamier texture but is lighter than ice cream.

When making sugar syrup based gelato in Snowy it is essential that the freezer canister is as cold as possible. In most cases the paddle may not reverse when making sugar syrup based gelato. To gauge if your gelato is ready, wait until the mixture comes close or to the top of the paddle or looks quite frozen. This time will vary depending on temperature of ingredients, freezer canister and ambient temperature.
