Ice cream flavourings
There are 71 products.
Ice cream flavourings give your homemade ice cream its unmistakable taste, whether classic vanilla, nutty pistachio or fruity mango. Just a few grams of paste or a few drops of flavouring turn a neutral base of milk, cream and sugar into your favourite flavour. In this category you will find liquid flavourings, flavour pastes, natural flavour powders, vanilla and spices for every season.
Flavour pastes and liquid flavourings
Flavour pastes for ice cream in 100 to 120 g tubs go a long way and often add colour as well as taste. The range includes:
- Nutty: pistachio, hazelnut
- Fruity: raspberry, mango
- Dessert classics: tiramisu, caramel, mocha
Liquid flavourings in 50 ml bottles can be dosed drop by drop and are ideal for fine-tuning a flavour or trying new combinations. Natural flavour powders are an alternative if you would rather work without liquid. More flavourings for bakes and creams are available under Food flavouring.
Vanilla and spices for special flavours
A genuine vanilla ice cream depends on good vanilla. Vanilla pods can be infused in the milk, vanilla paste shows the characteristic black specks and vanilla extract is quick to measure. In the winter months, spices such as speculoos or gingerbread spice give ice cream a festive character, for example alongside warm desserts.
Tip: flavours become less intense when frozen. Taste the mixture before churning; it can be slightly stronger than you would like the finished ice cream to be. Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions.
Frequently asked questions about ice cream flavourings
How much flavour paste do I need?
It depends on the product. Start with the amount recommended on the pack and adjust to taste.
Can I use these flavourings for sorbets?
Yes, fruity flavourings and pastes in particular work well in water-based sorbets.
When should I add the vanilla pod?
Ideally, bring the seeds and pod to the boil in the milk and leave them to infuse before cooling the mixture.
