Frozen Desserts

Sugar does more than provide sweetness in frozen desserts. It influences freezing behavior, body, texture, and scoopability. Reducing sugar requires balancing sweetness with the physical properties that create a smooth, enjoyable finished product.

What to consider

What to consider

01 Sugar Reduction

Determine the target sugar reduction while maintaining sweetness, body, and the overall eating experience of the finished product.

02 Taste & Aftertaste

Build a clean, balanced sweetness profile that complements dairy, plant-based, fruit, cocoa, and other flavors.

03 Freezing Point & Scoopability

Manage freezing behavior so the product maintains the desired softness and scoopability at serving temperature.

04 Creaminess & Texture

Maintain a smooth, creamy texture while managing ice crystal formation and the changes in body that can occur when sugar is reduced.

05 Stability & Shelf Life

Consider how the formulation performs during freezing and storage to maintain texture and product quality over shelf life.
