The milk fat source, nonfat solids, stabilizers and emulsifiers are blended to ensure complete mixing of liquid and dry ingredients.
Ice cream mix is pasteurized at 68.3°C (155°F) for 30 Seconds or 79.4C (175°F) for 25 Seconds. The conditions used to pasteurize ice cream mix are greater than those used for fluid milk because of increased viscosity from the higher fat, solids, and sweetener content, and the addition of egg yolks in custard products.
