Nut pastes & creams for ice cream
There are 28 products.
Nut pastes and creams for ice cream deliver intense flavour and a particularly rich texture. A good pistachio ice cream or an Italian-style hazelnut ice cream starts with a high-quality paste. In this category you will find praliné, gianduja, nut creams and fillings to flavour your ice cream or swirl it with attractive ripples.
Praliné, gianduja and nut pastes
For nutty flavours, we offer a selection that can be stirred straight into the ice cream base:
- Praliné and praline paste made from hazelnut, almond or pistachio
- Gianduja for the classic combination of chocolate and hazelnut
- Pistachio paste for a bold, genuine pistachio note
- Hazelnut cream and pistachio cream with 45 % nuts
- Caramel cream and mocha paste for dessert-style flavours
Because nut pastes contain fat, they change the recipe balance; you can often reduce the cream slightly. More pastes for pralines and patisserie are available under Nut pastes, praliné & nougat.
Fillings for ripples and variegato
Ice cream with a ripple, a filling layered in as you fill the container, looks especially tempting. Our fillings with berries, lemon cream, coconut, cookie or crunchy speculoos are ideal for this. Alternate freshly churned ice cream and filling in the container, then draw a spoon gently through it. The result is flavours such as vanilla and berry, yoghurt and lemon or speculoos and caramel, just like in an ice cream parlour. Crunchy additions can be found under Mix-ins & toppings for ice cream.
Frequently asked questions about nut pastes for ice cream
What is the difference between praliné and nut paste?
Praliné also contains caramelised sugar, whereas a pure nut paste consists mainly of ground nuts.
When should I add the paste to the base?
It is easiest to stir the paste into the base while it is still warm or at room temperature, so it blends evenly.
Do ripples set hard in the ice cream?
Ice cream fillings are designed to stay soft when frozen. Check the information on the pack.
