MINT WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Until you try this you will not be a true flavor fighter
A unique and special flavor. There are those who love it and those who hate it, but it leaves no one indifferent. What is surprising is the color of this ice cream. It is not green but white. Mint (or rather the essence of mint) is not green, it is white. The green color is achieved by adding colorants and that is not part of our philosophy. What is part of our philosophy is to have natural ingredients and the essence of mint is obtained through distillation (like spirits) a super old extraction process and of course, 100% natural.
Why do our products have white sugar instead of trendy sugars (agave, coconut sugar, etc.)? The composition of most of the added sugars in foods is fructose and glucose in various proportions. There are natural sugars (beware, they are still sugars) that have micronutrients, true, but the concentrations are so low that you cannot benefit from them, if you do not consume large amounts. In this way, since they are not ingredients that provide significant nutritional value, we did not choose them, as they also alter the color of the ice creams and change their flavor.
Our sugar syrup has only water and sugar and we avoid the use of citric acid (a common ingredient in syrups).
Like coconut milk, this product is organic. Why? because the one we buy is treated with natural clay filters and with heat, whereas most on the market can be treated with hexane (a solvent to process oils). We need the oil for the creaminess of the ice cream and to slow down the melting, which makes the thawing process perfect.
Like coconut milk, cashew is commonly used in Asian cuisines for its ability to provide texture and creaminess. Its grinding fulfills the function of cream in and ice cream of animal origin; providing body and a sweet mouthfeel. It has a neutral taste and is like a canvas (it does not add flavor, but absorbs them very well).
This is one of the ingredients that has given us the most work, but also the one that has rewarded us the most. It is usually like that, right? We spent a lot of time trying to find a dark chocolate that was plant-based, allergen-free, and clean-labeled and it didn't exist, so we made it. We met a chocolatier who made fantastic bean-to-bar chocolate and voila! We suggested that he make us bespoke chocolate composed solely of cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sugar, and coconut oil so that the chocolate would be crisp but at the same time melt quickly in the mouth. The sheets are made and then they are broken by hand, for this reason, the pieces are irregular, but ... in the imperfection lies the beauty. All this adjustment in the process is three times more expensive than normal, but this is what being clean-label is about.
Due to its viscosity it provides fluidity to ice cream due to its great resemblance to full fat milk. In the mouth it is delicious and gives body to the whole. The one we use is organic, which gives us the guarantee of not containing bleaches, emulsifiers or stabilizers. Regarding the treatment, the coconut fiber is separated, left to soak and centrifuged to separate the water from the fiber. What is left after this is coconut milk.
The gums is what allows an ice cream to arrive from the factory to the freezer without spoiling and without crystallizing and that you can take it out of the freezer several times without it losing its texture. Obtaining vegetable gums is a process comparable to that made with flour; It is collected, the functional parts are separated (by mechanical means), and it is ground (zero contact with the chemistry).
The essential oil (peppermint) is obtained through a distillation process. The peppermint leaves are exposed to steam, which causes the peppermint essential oil to evaporate, along with the steam. The steam is condensed and water and essential oil are obtained. As essential oil is less dense than water, it floats on top of the water and then through a separation process, the water is isolated from the oil. How beautiful is natural, right?
