Substitutes for Muscovado Sugar in gelato
Muscovado is an unrefined whole-cane sugar that retains its natural molasses, making it about 95% sugars (mostly sucrose with a small fraction of invert sugar) at ~96% solids. In gelato it behaves almost like sucrose but adds deep caramel-molasses flavor, color, and a touch of extra anti-freezing power. If you're out of muscovado sugar 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.
