lactose free gelato in a bowl

Today it’s so hot we would like to offer some gelato to our friends and we can easily follow our traditional recipe here, but some
friends are lactose intolerant so let’s make some lactose free gelato.

The biggest problem for us is that in the area lactose free cream is not easily available so we start from preparing some
lactose free cream and then the gelato.

Not so complicate and we need only two ingredients: lactose free milk and seed oil.

We have chosen almond milk and sun flower oil as they ar every traditional in Italy, but it’s possible to use the ones you prefer.

    Tips:
    *Much better if the milk and seed oil are for 30 minutes in the refrigerator
    before being used.
    *Avoid almond milk in case of intolerance with nuts, otherwise it’s perfect
    as it is already a little bit sweet.
    *Don’t be surprised by the final color of the vanilla gelato but almonds
    milk and oat milk tend to be many times a little brownish, because of the
    ingredients they come from.
