What is sauce to flavor ice cream? What is their role? These are two questions that many people are interested in when they want to make delicious batches of ice cream. Flavoring sauce is the mixing ingredient that determines the success or failure of 80% when making ice cream.
Flavoring sauces in ice cream making are sauces that are processed and mixed according to a specific recipe to add to the milk cream mixture, creating a characteristic scent for the ice cream. For example, if you want to make strawberry ice cream, you must have strawberry sauce. However, the delicious and standard strawberry sauce is neither the ready-made nor the regular strawberry syrup. Each ice cream expert has a unique recipe and method of preparing ice cream sauce.
It is the foundation that gives ice cream its unique flavor and color
If you want ice cream to have a certain flavor, there are many different ways, and depending on the shape of the ice cream, you can choose the appropriate way. With regular ice fruit ice creams or sorbets, you can use pureed fresh fruit or sliced fresh fruit to highlight the ice cream. However, with flavored ice creams, grinding or slicing fruit is impossible. Fruit contains water. If you don't turn the fruit into jam or sauce before adding it, the ice cream will be crushed and lose its taste. With ice creams like Caramel, wine ice cream, or mint ice cream, sauce is even more important.
Sauce creates color and mint flavor
Mint sauce provides the green color, cool mint flavor and characteristic minty taste of the ice cream. You can't just add a little mint syrup to the milk ice cream mixture and call it mint ice cream because the resulting flavor and color will certainly not be what you imagine. Likewise, wine sauce creates an unmistakable flavor for wine ice cream. Along with that, the color will change depending on the wine color you choose. If the wine color is beautiful, the batch of ice cream you will get will have a beautiful ruby pink or rose red color. On the contrary, the cream will be darker.
Shorten preparation time for multiple batches of ice cream
With a small ice cream shop or making ice cream on a family scale, you will probably be quite hesitant about preparing sauce to flavor the ice cream, because you think it's difficult to preserve, so if you don't use it all you have to throw it away, which is very wasteful.
Sauce is a form of condensing ingredients at the appropriate temperature so it is easy to preserve. You can make a large amount of sauce and use it for many different batches of ice cream. Some types of sauce, if stored at refrigerator temperature, can be kept for several months. So you can be completely assured that the convenience of using homemade ice cream sauce is not inferior to any commercially available canned sauce.
Safe and effective without the need for additives or synthetic fragrances
Currently on the market there are many types of ready-made sauces advertised for their creamy flavor and attractive color. However, if you do not have experience in choosing or evaluating, you will easily mistakenly buy industrial sauces that are not of good quality or safe.
Homemade sauce is more delicious than commercial sauces or syrups, and safer than flavorings or synthetic additives. If you are a smart ice cream maker, you probably know what you have to choose to protect your family's health, right?
For those who intend to do business, homemade flavored sauce is the key for you to differentiate your ice cream from your competitors. Thanks to the basic formulas, you can create many different new and attractive flavors to create your own mark, attracting customers to your model.
