I like it, but too much sugar! Next time I’ll cut it down a bit. Also, where can I buy limoncello? Never seen it before.
I totally understand about the sugar! You can always adjust it to your taste. As for limoncello, you can usually find it in liquor stores or even online!
I dunno, I tried making it but it didn’t turn out like the picture. My gelato was kinda icy and not creamy at all. Maybe I did something wrong?
Don’t worry, it happens! Make sure to really chill the mix before churning. Your ice cream maker might need more time too. You’ll get it right next time!
I think you didn’t churn it long enough. That could make it icy. Gelato should be creamy! Also, did you use enough cream? That could be the problem.
Wow, this gelato is amazing! The limoncello really adds a kick. My family loved it!
Lemon gelato? Never thought of that! I used lime instead because I had no lemons. Still came out pretty good!
