Zero sugar. Zero compromises. In a standard soft serve machine.
Keto is not a short-term diet. For a growing number of consumers, it is a conscious long-term lifestyle choice, and these customers are not willing to give up the pleasure of eating. They are looking for products that make that possible. Until now, soft serve ice cream has largely been off the menu for them.
Why keto ice cream is a challenge most of the industry has never solved
Making keto ice cream at home is easy.
All you need is a recipe and a blender. Developing a powdered mix that performs reliably in a soft serve machine throughout an entire day of trading, maintains a creamy texture without sugar and delivers a consistent, attractive serving is a completely different challenge.In traditional ice cream mixes, sugar does much more than provide sweetness. It controls the freezing point, affects aeration, stability and texture. Removing it and replacing it with modern sweeteners while preserving all of these functional properties requires an in-house laboratory, deep ingredient expertise and countless formulation iterations.We have that laboratory. We have that expertise. And we have a finished product that works.
