Best Ice Cream Mixes

Dairy ice cream mixes are made with high-quality milk from Australia and New Zealand, delivering a rich, traditional cream flavour and luxurious mouthfeel. Vegan ice cream mixes are 100% plant-based: they contain no dairy and are prepared with water or any non-dairy milk (oat, almond, coconut, or another plant-based alternative). Both lines are Non-GM, Kosher and Gluten-Free, and run in the same ice cream technologies. Select mixes are also Halal certified.

Liquid mix is convenient upfront, but it takes up fridge space and doesn't last as long. Powdered versions give you more flexibility since you mix what you need, when you need it. That means less waste, easier storage, and better control over your inventory.

All of the AussieBlends mixes have been tested in commercial ice cream machines, including Taylor, Stoelting, Carpigiani, Electro Freeze, and Spaceman. Most businesses prefer powdered mixes because they're easier to store, mix, and manage during busy hours. A well-formulated option runs smoothly through machines, maintains a consistent texture, and delivers reliable results without constant adjustments. Compatible with gravity-fed and pump-fed soft serve machines, batch freezers for gelato and hard ice cream, cold plate machines for rolled ice cream, and liquid nitrogen freezers.

The dairy and vegan bases on this page run in five technologies: gelato, hard ice cream, soft serve, rolled ice cream and liquid nitrogen ice cream. One exception: N2 Premium Vegan Sorbet Mix is supplied for all of these except rolled ice cream. The reconstitution ratio differs by application and is stated on each product page.
