## What is Gelato Ice Cream Recipes?

gelato, ice cream, custard, philadelphia, yoghurt, froyo, dessert, vanilla, chocolate, mint

Gelato is your own personal ice cream Chef. Whenever you want the best home-made ice cream, just pick your desired flavor in Gelato. 

Don't confuse this with just doing an online search though! Gelato tailors recipes to your ingredients so that they are perfect. Every. Single. Time. Do you want the ultimate triple chocolate ice cream, with chocolate slivers, brownie bits, topped with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream? And maybe reduce the fat by 25%? Gelato has the recipes for you. You want that as a vegan recipe? Not a problem. Do you have allergies? Gelato can let you know - and help you avoid - the allergens. Or maybe you want to choose between a rich custard base, a refreshing Philly base, or a milky gelato base? This app does that too.

When you buy Gelato it comes with 10 classic flavors. Want more? Extra flavors are sold in packs of 4, with each pack costing less than a single scoop in an ice cream parlor. Every time you buy a pack you help with the continued development of the app, and we test every flavor personally before releasing it. If you want all of the flavors, then jump the gun and buy the Chef's special. You get all the flavor packs, both the ones out now and those we'll be releasing in the future. Simples!

So what are you waiting for? Dust of your ice cream maker, get your ingredients out, and start making the most stunning ice cream you will ever taste! All you need is a little nudge from our Gelato app to give you that absolutely perfect recipe.

### 2/5 — Black text on black background

*2025-04-13*

I would be really interested to use this app, however I can’t actually read the recipe instructions because it looks like the developers have used black text over a black background so I can only see text when it’s been crossed out such as ingredients or the step headers.

**Developer response:** Gelato was built in a time when dark mode of iOS wasn't supported, so there was no way for the app to support it. This has now been fixed in the latest update so you should no longer have black on black text. If you do run into issues feel free to reach out to contact@smarthound.uk as feedback through reviews can be exceedingly slow.

### 5/5 — What happened to all the flavors

*2019-08-22*

I purchased this app for $1.99 a few weeks back and now all the flavors are gone except for Van/Choc.

Update: got in contact and everything was resolved. This app is great and highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Hi there, this shouldn't have happened to you! Can you get in touch through the app by going to Settings -> Report a Bug? That way I can give you the codes to retrieve the lost flavours. I do apologise for this!

### 5/5 — Perfect app for extremely tasty and smooth ice cream!

*2019-07-20*

I have a sweet tooth, and Gelato is my new favourite app! Although I’m not a star in the kitchen, I do enjoy making my own food, especially desserts, as that allows for a greater variety than the basic selection that is on offer in stores. However, my track record isn’t great, and often my genius ideas turn out in a disaster … unless I have a very clear recipe. This is exactly why Gelato is perfect for me: not only can I choose from a wide range of flavours, the instructions are very detailed and so easy to follow. Every single one of the ice creams I’ve made with Gelato came out perfect, extremely tasty and smooth (and trust me, I have tried A LOT of them :)).
