For a more intense coffee flavor, use a strong espresso instead of regular brewed coffee. If you prefer a sweeter gelato, gradually add more sugar to taste, ensuring it fully dissolves. To prevent ice crystals from forming, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the gelato before sealing the container. Gelato melts faster than ice cream, so serve immediately from the freezer for the best texture.

Jun 20, 2025A great recipe, but I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar slightly.
