Sugars & Sweeteners

Substitutes for Allulose in gelato

Allulose (D-psicose) is a rare monosaccharide sweetener used in gelato as a partial sugar replacer. It is about 70% as sweet as sucrose yet depresses the freezing point far more strongly (PAC ~190), letting you soften a mix without over-sweetening. If you're out of allulose or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.

Swap ~1:1, then expect only minor balance shifts.

Swap ~1:1, then firmer (PAC -11) — adjust to compensate.
