concepts for a range of delicious,
indulgent and creamy plant-based
ice creams, which are made from
nuts, seeds, coconut and cereals.
Plant-based proteins, such as pea,
bean and chickpea provide outstanding
creaminess & texture.
Coconut cream is a taste-neutral
base, while coconut paste provides
the taste of the fresh coconut. For
ice cream based on nut pastes, low
roasted almonds provide a neutral
taste, while hazelnut and pistachio
bring an authentic nut taste. Functional
powder blends such as plantbased
proteins and plant fibres for
added mouthfeel, texture and nutritional
composition refine our ice
cream applications.
As plant-based ice cream contains
no animal ingredients at all, the
source of protein are plants. Doehler
has identified different green
proteins from pea, chickpea &
beans and is continuously extending
its portfolio to ensure deliciously
creamy plant-based ice cream solutions.
PLANT BASED DAIRY ALTERNATIVES 2021
Variations of plant-based
ice cream are created with liquid
cereal extracts such as rice with a
very neutral taste and oat for authentic
cereal notes, while protein
concentrates enrich the functionality
and creamy texture of the final
application. Next to nuts & cereals,
seeds, such as sunflower, pumpkin
and hemp seeds are increasingly
becoming popular in plant-based
ice-cream applications. Taking this
into account, innovations to the
markets are mostly positioned with
high added protein with plantbased
proteins.
