So, ask yourself...
"What amazing frozen dessert can I make with a Soft Serve Machine?"
Soft serve machines are easy to use and great for businesses that want to offer a wide range of frozen desserts with a light and fluffy texture. There are many variations of soft serve machines on the market offering a wide number of flavors, capacities, feed systems, and cooling systems. “Soft Serve” can be anything that comes out of a soft serve machine. The flavor profiles and product possibilities are limitless, with some adjustments to your machine and slight changes to your recipes.
Here are a few suggestions:
Galliker’s Dairy 10% Mix in Vanilla and Chocolate.
These liquid mixes can be poured directly into your machine for a smooth treat. You can also use the Plain, unflavored mix and add a variety of ice cream bases such as Butter Pecan, Cake Batter or Cheesecake. Dairy mixes need to be refrigerated and have a shelf life of 3-4 weeks. Any mix below 10% butterfat is not considered “ice cream” but rather just “soft serve” or “ice milk”. Real 10% ice cream has a better “mouth feel” with more butterfat solids offering a better consumer experience.
Italian Ice Bases and Flavors
In Philadelphia it’s called Water Ice, in New York it's Italian Ice, in Alabama it's Greek Ice, in Massachusetts it's Slush, in fancy restaurants it's sorbet. Whatever you call it, this cold, refreshing smoothly-icy treat is becoming more and more popular all over the world. Be sure to use a stabilizer to keep the ice crystals in check.
Powdered Gelato Mix – Master Martini Lineo Gelato
Who knew you can make & serve incredible gelato from a soft serve machine? Gelato is a frozen dessert that originated in Italy and is known for its intense flavors, artisan presentation and nutritional value. Gelato is creamier, smoother, silkier & denser than Ice Cream, but lower in Fat & Gluten-Free with Vegan alternatives. Rich chocolate or cream powdered bases can be mixed with water, dairy milk, almond or oat milk. Flavor pastes and variegates can transform these flavors into a multitude of creative flavor concoctions.
Powdered Fruit Mix – FruttUP!

PLEASE NOTE: Batch machines, also known as Ice cream machines, are better for making larger quantities of product. These machines are perfect for making tubs of hand dipped 12%, 14% or 16% ice cream, pans of gelato, custard, and sherbet.
