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.
Swap ~1:1, then softer (PAC +30) — adjust to compensate.
Swap ~1:1, then firmer (PAC -15), -8% solids — adjust to compensate.
Swap ~1:1, then firmer (PAC -34), -18% solids — adjust to compensate.
