Neutral Ice Cream Bases

Think of the Colac Complete Neutral Base Mix as a blank canvas for scoop ice cream and gelato: a complete, pre-mixed powder with no flavour of its own, so you add whole milk, churn, and every flavour in the finished batch comes from the pastes, purees and compounds you choose to put in.

How Do I Flavour A Neutral Ice Cream Base?

Use flavouring pastes and masses to flavour, colour and texture it, or marble caramels and nut pastes through for a visual effect in the counter. A fruit puree or a Colac flavour compound gives a single clear flavour, and you can combine two for pairings such as mango and passion fruit. Looking for some flavour inspiration? Take a look at our Gelato Recipe Hub.

Why Use A Complete Base Mix?

Everything except the milk comes in one bag, so a smooth, creamy batch takes as few steps as possible and frees up time for the creative part. If you would rather start from vanilla, the matching Colac vanilla mix sits next to it on the Gelato Bases page.
