Substitutes for Skim Milk Powder in gelato
Skim milk powder (nonfat dry milk) is spray-dried skimmed cow's milk, roughly 96% total solids of which about half is lactose plus ~35% milk protein and ~8% minerals. In gelato it is the primary lever for milk solids-not-fat (MSNF), adding body, chew and creaminess without fat. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
