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.
