Soft Serve Mix — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes AussieBlends premium soft serve different?
AussieBlends premium soft serve is made with real Australian grass-fed milk solids — not the sodium caseinate found in many commodity mixes — and Australian cane sugar, with no artificial colors. It's GMO-free and Halal, Kosher, and gluten-free certified, and one versatile base also makes milkshakes and other frozen treats.
What is the best soft serve mix for commercial use?
The best soft serve mix depends on your business model and customer base. For high-volume value operations, Vanilla Plus delivers extra yield. For premium positioning, N2Gelato Premium Vanilla and Premium Neutral offer real Australian milk solids. For health-conscious menus, the Non Added Sugar mix uses Erythritol and Maltitol. For vegan and plant-based programs, three dairy-free SKUs are available.
How do I prepare AussieBlends soft serve mix?
Reconstitute one 1.5 kg bag of soft serve mix powder with the water volume specified on the product specification sheet (typically 3.0 to 4.0 liters depending on SKU). For the Premium Neutral (D099) or Premium Vanilla (D121) bases used in FDA Real Ice Cream applications, prepare with milk and heavy cream instead of water (about 2.3 L milk plus 700 ml heavy cream at 35 percent fat per 1.5 kg bag) to meet the FDA dairy fat standard. Whisk until uniform, refrigerate before processing through your soft serve machine according to manufacturer specifications.
What soft serve machines is AussieBlends mix compatible with?
AussieBlends soft serve mixes are compatible with all standard commercial soft serve machines including Taylor, Carpigiani, Spaceman, Stoelting, and Electro Freeze. The mixes work in countertop, floor model, and pressurized soft serve dispensers. Always follow your specific machine manufacturer recommendations for draw temperature and overrun settings.
Are AussieBlends soft serve mixes made with real dairy?
Yes — AussieBlends premium soft serve is made with real Australian grass-fed milk solids for authentic dairy flavor and creamy texture (most commodity mixes use sodium caseinate instead). For FDA ice cream, operators add fresh dairy cream. Vegan SKUs use plant-based ingredients only.
What soft serve mix tiers does AussieBlends offer?
AussieBlends offers 8 SKUs across 5 tiers: Value (Indulgent Vanilla), Contemporary (Vanilla Plus with 10 percent extra yield), Luxury (N2Gelato Premium Vanilla and Premium Neutral with real Australian milk solids), Health (Non Added Sugar with Erythritol and Maltitol), and Vegan Plant-Based (Vegan Neutral, Coconut Vegan, and Premium Sorbet).
Does AussieBlends offer vegan or sugar-free soft serve mix options?

All vegan SKUs are also Halal and Kosher certified.
Why choose Australian-made soft serve mix over alternatives?
7 of 8 AussieBlends soft serve SKUs are manufactured in Australia by Frosty Boy Australia (Establishment No. 72) using real Australian milk solids and cane sugar — real dairy solids (not caseinate), no artificial colors, and globally recognized food-safety credentials that premium operators leverage as a menu differentiator.
Are AussieBlends soft serve mixes Halal, Kosher, and gluten-free certified?
All 8 SKUs are naturally gluten-free and GMO free. 7 of 8 SKUs are Halal certified (excluding Indulgent Vanilla). 7 of 8 SKUs are Kosher certified. Always verify specific certification scope on the individual product specification sheet for menu compliance in certified-only programs.
