How to start selling ice cream in your business
There are lots of elements to consider before you begin trading – we’ve helped everyone from small coffee shops to large fast-food chains so if you’re looking for answers you’re in the right place. Ice-cream comes in many different forms and if you want to offer the best quality to your customers, you’ll need to start with a good quality ice-cream mix and an understanding of the term ‘overrun.’
Overrun refers to the amount of air in your ice-cream mix and is directly responsible for your profit margins and the quality of your soft serve. The more air in your mix the lighter and fluffier the ice-cream, and the less air you put into the mix the heavier and more dense it will be. The higher the overrun, the more product you get to make, which means higher profits.Too much air, however, can be perceived as a sign of low-quality product.
Ingredients will influence overrun, but the type of the machine you use will also have a considerable impact so you need to prioritise both a premium ice-cream mix and a suitable ice-cream machine that will optimise your overrun.
