Vanilla cappuccino gelato

Not yet rated

This stunning vanilla cappuccino gelato recipe is a luxuriously creamy summer treat, with hints of coffee, cinnamon and vanilla. Dextrose is a form of sugar that slows the freezing time of gelato and ice cream – it's well worth hunting down online if you're serious about achieving a beautifully silky texture.
