Sugar-free powder: how much sugar to add?

GS-BASE and GP-BASE come with sugar or without sugar. With the sugar-free version, you add the sugar yourself.

  • Sugar-free GS-BASE: add 100 g of white sugar per 5 L pan.
  • Sugar-free GP-BASE: add 344 g of white sugar per 5 L pan.

Add the sugar with the other ingredients, then mix as usual: 2 minutes at most.

Forgot the sugar? The gelato will be too hard. Sugar helps keep the texture soft.
