Ice stabilizer

Ice cream stabilizer: an invaluable aid for perfect textures

An essential technical ingredient in artisanal ice-cream making

Ice-cream stabilizers have become a must-have item in ice-cream laboratories, as well as in patisseries and professional catering. This product, presented in fine powder form, is a blend of stabilizing agents specially designed for :

• guarantee a smooth, stable texture,

• prevent the formation of crystals,

• and prolong the shelf life of ice creams over time.

Stabilizer features and benefits

Thanks to its physico-chemical properties, this :

• slows down the crystallization of water in preparations,

• improves structure,

• and enhances the preservation of finished products, whether dairy or dairy-free.

An ally for craftsmen

The main benefit of a stabilizer in an artisanal ice cream recipe lies in its ability to limit the migration of free water. In this way, it prevents the formation of ice crystals while preserving :

• consistent creaminess,

• a supple, homogenous texture,

• and stable taste quality even after several days in the freezer.

Unlike industrial preparations, the controlled use of a stabilizer allows you to maintain control over the ingredients while achieving a professional result.

Operating instructions and compatibility

This stabilizer is very easy to use:

1. Mix the powder with the sugar specified in the recipe.

2. Stir the mixture into the liquid base (milk or water).

3. Add the other ingredients: egg yolks, fruit purées, flavourings, etc.

4. Turbinate or allow to mature, depending on the process used.

This product is perfectly compatible with cold mixing systems such as the Pacojet, widely used in gourmet restaurants.

Recommended dosage

The recommended dosage is 70 to 80 grams per liter of milk:

• This ratio offers an optimum balance between stability and lightness.

• Insufficient dosage may result in an unstable or soft texture.

• Too much can make the ice sticky or elastic.

Nutritional and taste benefits

In addition to its technical qualities, this :

• increases the recipe’s dry extract,

• improves richness on the palate,

• with no added fat or dairy solids.

It’s the ideal solution for mastering textures while respecting nutritional balance.
