Why is our base so unique?
Our base recipe is a proprietary recipe. Carefully formulated with wellness in mind. We searched high and low for the cleanest ingredients we can find for our non-dairy base:
Our milk alternative is made from organic whole grain oat which is believed to help lower LDL cholesterol and also reduce the risk of heart disease.
Instead of heavy cream, we use coconut cream.
To sweeten our desserts, we use organic cane sugar which is exclusively made from sugarcane and less processed than granulated sugar. Many traditional dairy ice cream recipes also use dextrose, a highly processed simple sugar derived from corn and non-gmo corn is hard to come by these days so we have replaced this key ingredient with tapioca syrup, a natural sweetener made from the plant, cassava root.
Using inulin allows us to reduce fat & sugar content within our recipe without compromising the creamy texture. Our organic inulin derived from agave reduces the hardness of our low-fat ice cream, produces a smoother and creamier texture, increases air incorporation and melting resistance.
And lastly, instead of using traditional man-made stabilizer such a monodyglyerides, we use a blend of organic guar gum and organic locust bean gum. Both derived from plants.
Enjoy our guilt-free recipe!
