Multi-Sugar Balancing

Balance sucrose, dextrose, glucose syrup, or allulose. The system calculates PAC to ensure your gelato stays scoopable at display cabinet temperatures.

Freezing Curve Metrics

Real-time monitoring of total solids (36-42%), milk solids non-fat (MSNF), and butterfat percentage to prevent icy texture or sandy recrystallization.

1-Click Auto-Balancer

Need to adjust fat or sweetness? Our linear optimization solver automatically balances your dairy liquids and sugars to match exact target profiles.

Formulation in Three Simple Steps

No biochemistry degree required. Making ice cream is part science, part art. The balancing calculator handles the math while you craft the flavors.

Pick Your Dessert Style

Select from Traditional Ice Cream, Italian Gelato, Fruit Sorbet, or Plant-Based Non-Dairy. The studio sets your target solids, PAC, and serving temperature automatically.

Dial in the Chemistry

Add dairy, sugars, chocolates, and stabilizers from our verified ingredient library. Real-time meters highlight when your anti-freezing power matches your scoop case.

Scale & Churn

Scale effortlessly from a 1,000g kitchen trial to a 10-gallon production run. Export recipe sheets for your churn staff or share via a compact URL hash link.

Cost Management & Margin Targeting

Batch & Scoop unlocks real-time ingredient costing, menu margin targeting, and batch yield simulation.

Recipe Costing

Track by supplier purchasing units ($/gal, $/kg, $/lb). Real-time calculations give you exact ingredient costs per mix gram, display pan, retail pint, and scoop.

Margin Targeting

Define your target gross profit margins to determine suggested scoop, pint, and wholesale prices. Stop guessing whether high-cost specialty inclusions remain profitable.

Overrun & Yield

Model volume expansion across dessert types. From low-overrun artisan compressors (20%) to high-overrun batch freezers (60%+). Accurately calculate cost per frozen serving vs. liquid mix.

Cascading Prices

When your dairy or stabilizer supplier updates prices, your master bases and sub-recipes recalculate automatically across every active flavor on your menu without spreadsheet chaos.

Cost History

Maintain cost records across ingredient lots. Track inflation trends and supplier variance on cream, vanilla, and nut pastes to safeguard your seasonal profit margins.

Export Costs

Export spreadsheet of ingredient costs for accounting and bookkeeping. Perfect for tracking inflation on bulk items and for tax preparation.

Built for Creameries to Scale
