The difference that matters
Gianduia Paste has the higher anti-freezing power (PAC 43 vs 11), so swapping toward it makes the mix softer and lowers the serving temperature; trim other high-PAC sugars if you want the same scoop hardness. Gianduia Paste sweetens more per gram (POD 39 vs 11), so you can dose less of it for the same perceived sweetness. Sunflower Seed Butter carries more fat (55% vs 38%), giving a richer, warmer mouthfeel but demanding you cut other fats to stay in range.
