Gelato Project

The ice cream you have in mind, along with a recipe for making it.

Gelato Project began as a book of ice cream recipes. Today, it is a platform where you can find well-balanced recipes, signature creations, and guides to help you understand ingredients, techniques, and equipment.

Choose what to make, adjust the quantities to fit your kitchen, and explore whatever you want to learn. You can start with the free recipes.

Discover Gelato Project

A recipe is a starting point.

Understanding what you’re doing changes the outcome, but with all the recipes you find online, substituted ingredients, and conflicting advice, it can be hard to figure out why one batch of ice cream turns out well and another doesn’t.

Gelato Project provides you with a guide: balanced recipes, precise measurements, and step-by-step instructions. The guides help you understand the role of the ingredients and the different steps, so you can experiment with greater confidence.

Because replacing one type of sugar is easy. Figuring out what will happen to the ice cream requires a little more information.

What is the Gelato Project?

A collection of recipes and tips for making ice cream, which continues to grow with new content and contributions from the community.

In the catalog, you’ll find ice cream and sorbets, vegan and gourmet options, mixes for ice cream makers, Pacojet, and Ninja Creami. The Signature Recipes give you a glimpse into the ideas and work of the ice cream makers participating in the project.

The Scaler recalculates the doses based on the weight of your blend. The Tuner guides you through minor adjustments to sweetness, fat content, and flavor intensity. The guides explain the methodology behind the recipes.

I’d like to suggest a classic: fior di latte. It has just a few ingredients, but there’s a lot to understand about how they balance each other out.

The project has grown alongside its users

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge this extraordinary project and, above all, the mind behind it. I was already familiar with the previous version of this cookbook: an excellent PDF, rich in content and featuring the original concept of being created on demand, but inevitably limited by the static nature of traditional print or digital formats. Today, seeing it transformed into a dynamic and interactive platform is an incredible experience. It’s not just a collection of recipes, but a true tool for work and inspiration. New features such as advanced search filters, favorites management, photo uploads, and the many new skills introduced have completely revolutionized the way this guide is consulted and experienced. My admiration for Andrea, which was already very high, has grown even further. This upgrade demonstrates an extremely rare talent: a deep and masterful knowledge of the subject (the science and art of gelato) combined with creative thinking and a brilliant understanding of computer science and user experience. Being able to translate the complexity of gelato-making into such a fluid, intuitive, and technologically advanced platform is the mark of true visionaries. Thank you, Andrea, for your dedication, expertise, and for taking this project to the next level. Exceptional work! It’s always wonderful to believe in you.

I love everything about it! It’s now a full-fledged platform—much more convenient and practical than the PDF it used to be!! The feature that automatically adjusts recipe measurements based on weight changes is the most useful one for me right now. I recommend it to all ice cream enthusiasts, whether you make it at home or professionally! 😍

I recommended your platform to my clients in Brazil who own pizzerias and want to make some great Italian gelato! It was a real success! Thank you for everything.

What can I say… I really don’t know what to suggest to improve the platform. Everything seems perfect to me: the graphics, the search function, the alternative suggestions for search results… the format of the editorial content. You’ve done a great job—congratulations, Andrea!

I really like the ability to set the weight of the mixture (in the PDF, I was afraid I'd pick the wrong column when I was in a bit of a hurry), the ability to save recipes, and how quickly you can find what you're looking for!
