Our Indulgent Pure Hazelnut Paste is 100% Italian roasted hazelnuts and nothing else, the heart of an authentic nocciola gelato. Deeply roasted to a warm hazel-brown, it carries the rich, toasty, slightly sweet character that defines the most beloved flavor in any Italian gelateria. Concentrated and intensely aromatic, a small dose transforms a plain base into a true nocciola.
Perfect for Every Dessert Innovator

Italian roasted hazelnuts, palm fat (1% as stabilizer).
A simple 4-step batch method using an immersion blender to fold gourmet pastes and fruit purees into your prepared cream — delivering authentic taste depth and color that no concentrated flavor can match.

Per Batch
follow product mixing instructions

recommended dosage per kg of cream
Tool Required
Immersion Blender
food-grade stick blender
Total Time
~15 min
including 10 min rest
Reconstitute your gelato, ice cream, soft serve or frozen yogurt base following the mixing instructions on the product label. Dairy bases use water or milk, vegan bases use non-dairy milk. Whisk until fully dissolved.
Dissolve all powder before adding flavor.
Weigh your prepared cream and add the recommended dosage for the flavor (grams per kg of cream, shown on each product page). You can add more if you want a more intense flavor.
Dosing is by cream weight, not volume.
Submerge a food-grade immersion blender into the batch and blend until the paste or fruit puree is fully emulsified into the cream — gelato, ice cream, frozen yogurt or soft serve — smooth, lump-free and uniformly colored.
No streaks or paste residue should remain.
Cover and refrigerate the flavored cream for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, blend or whisk once more and it is ready to run in your batch freezer, ice cream machine, or soft serve / frozen yogurt machine.
Resting lets the stabilizers fully hydrate.
Pro tip: Start at the lower end of the recommended dosing range and taste-test a small sample. You can always add more in the next batch — but you can’t remove it once integrated. Adjust to match your menu signature.
For made-to-order service, dose the gourmet flavor per individual 6 oz portion instead of pre-blending a whole batch — ideal for liquid nitrogen and rolled ice cream, where each serving is built fresh in front of the customer.

Each serving is a 6 oz finished portion (about 170 g) where the gourmet flavor is already incorporated — not added on top. Start from your neutral base for that single order.
One neutral base serves many flavors.
Of that 6 oz, about 4 to 17 g is gourmet flavor (see the quick reference above). Use the formula dosage g/kg × 0.17. Add a little more to taste if desired.
Each flavor’s dosage is on its product page.
Into the bowl with liquid nitrogen and mix (LN2), or pour onto the cold plate and chop/roll (rolled ice cream). The flavor folds in fully as you process.
Process until smooth and evenly colored.
Plate or cup the finished portion and serve fresh, made to order. Repeat per serving, switching flavors with no leftover flavored batch.
Wipe tools between flavors to avoid carry-over.
For a 16 oz blended drink, dose by scoop rather than by weight. Build the cup with ice + water + Art of Blend frappe mix (60–80 g), then add 1 scoop (#16, ~57 g) of gourmet flavor and blend until smooth. Add a second scoop for a more intense flavor.
Pro tip: Pre-measure each flavor’s 6 oz dose into small cups before a rush so staff can build portions in seconds. Start at the lower gram figure and adjust up to taste.
Everything operators ask about Indulgent Pure Hazelnut 100% — a Dolce Delizia gourmet flavoring by AussieBlends — from dosage and mixing to diet, allergens, ingredients, storage, origin and use in frappes.
Indulgent Pure Hazelnut 100% is a Dolce Delizia gourmet flavoring by AussieBlends. Hazel/brown; rich pure Italian nocciola. It is a concentrated gourmet paste or fruit puree, made to an Italian recipe in the USA, and it works across every frozen dessert technology: gelato, hard ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, rolled ice cream, liquid nitrogen ice cream, whipping cream and frappes.
The recommended dosage is 80-100 g/kg of finished mix. For a batch, weigh your prepared cream and add that amount per kilogram of cream; you can add more for a more intense flavor. For made to order service in liquid nitrogen or rolled ice cream, multiply the grams per kg figure by 0.17 to get the grams per 6 oz portion. Always start at the lower end and adjust to taste.
There are two methods. Batch: reconstitute your base mix, add the gourmet by weight, blend with an immersion blender until smooth and uniform, rest refrigerated for 10 minutes, then remix and run it in your machine. Per portion: for liquid nitrogen and rolled ice cream, dose each 6 oz portion as you build it at service. Both methods are shown step by step in the mixing guides on this page.
