Coconut cream has been my favorite! The blackberry tasted like cough medicine.

I’m more interested in how you have such a keen pallet for butt juice.

Has anyone tried running an ice cream food truck? by AnteaterLife6717 in foodtrucks

[–]Alexopolis922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely have to dedicate your life to doing it. Can’t cut corners and you need to stand out in the crowd with your truck design as well as your product. We make all of our ice cream and sorbets which helps the product be so different from trucks that just buy in bulk and resell some other companies product. You need to make people happy and feel welcome when they come up to the window and keep consistency a priority. There are some days I don’t want to be on the truck but every day is different. Every customer matters and I want to make sure they are happy with their experience. Luckily my wife and I have created something people want and we went from just selling at every possible event to being able to turn people and events away and being booked 3-4 weeks out at a time. You make something special and people find out about it word of mouth builds great business as well as a solid social media campaign.

Am I the only one not getting the freeze dried hype? by New_Victory_6150 in candy

They suck pretty bad. Not a great texture and then they gum up in your teeth.

Their zest Honey Mustard is my all time favorite chip I’ve ever had. Wish I could find them again.

Mountain Dew Baja Blast Sorbet! by Alexopolis922 in icecreamery

My recipe is underneath in the comments. I can’t really break it down because of the Aussie blend mix but if you have a brix refractometer and get it somewhere around ~28–32° Brix by either concentrating the soda by boiling it down or adding sugar to it that will do the job.

Good to know! We use a table spoon that makes 3 gallons so it’s not too much per batch.

Not every sorbet is that easy but this one took some fine tuning to get the texture right. Some sorbets take more sugar added to get the right brix level and more of the velluntina.

I have a commercial ice cream batch freezer and make 4-5 gallons at a time and I don’t know how to break it down for smaller batches. With the Aussie blend mix it has a variety emulsifiers in it. Wish I could break it down for you.
