Ice Cream Calculator

Composition

Ice cream is made up of seven key components: fat, milk solids-not-fat (MSNF), sweeteners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, water, and flavors. The balance of these components determines the texture, mouthfeel, and overall quality of the ice cream.

Freezing and Firmness

The firmness of ice cream is primarily determined by two factors: the total water content, and the freezing point depression of sugars, salt, and alcohol. This analysis shows how much water is frozen at your selected serving temperature and how that compares with your firmness target.

Sweetness

Sweetness is determined by the type and amount of sugars used. The target sweetness is up to your personal preference. Keep in mind that bitter ingredients (e.g. coffee, chocolate, etc.) may necessitate a higher relative sweetness.
