Soft-serve vs. hard ice cream: which mix fits your business

The soft-serve base and the hard ice cream base serve different businesses. Soft-serve stands out for its yield — each pail can produce around 200 cones — and suits direct-to-consumer sales.

The hard ice cream base, available in powder or liquid, favors steady, consistent production, suited for businesses that need product available on a regular basis.

Before deciding, test the base on your own line. At Dairy Ranch we send samples and adjust the formula until it meets your specification for creaminess, softness and sweetness.
