Could fava beans be the next big thing in ice cream?
Ticking all the boxes – colour, texture, mouthfeel and flavour – can be a challenge when making plant-based ice creams. And while some consumers might choose plant-based over traditional ice cream for health or environmental concerns, they don’t want to compromise on pure enjoyment when it comes to their favourite frozen dessert.
Able to match the rich creaminess of dairy ice cream and neutral in taste – according to Ronnie Kragh Enggaard, Ingredients Expert at our ice cream competence centre in Aarhus, Denmark – fava beans have proven themselves to be the perfect ingredient. In fact, blind taste tests suggest that a majority of respondents prefer fava-bean-based ice cream to milk-based.
