Soft Serve solutions for every hospitality business

Which Option is Right for Your Business?

Soft serve operators generally choose between two types of mixes: powdered soft serve mixes and ready-to-use liquid soft serve mixes. Both can produce excellent results, but each offers different advantages depending on the needs of the business.

​

Powdered Soft Serve Mixes

Powdered soft serve mixes are supplied in dry form and are mixed with water before being added to the machine.

​

Advantages

• Storage - Because the product is supplied as a powder, it is significantly lighter and more compact than liquid alternatives. This reduces storage requirements.

• Longer Shelf Life - Powdered mixes typically offer a longer shelf life and can be stored at ambient temperature, making stock management easier.

• Greater Product Variety - Manufacturers such as Frosty Boy offer a wide range of products and provides operators with greater flexibility and menu options including dairy soft serve, vegan soft serve, yoghurt soft serve and flavour sachets.

• Cost Effective - Powdered mixes often deliver a lower cost per serve when compared to liquid alternatives, particularly in higher-volume operations.

 

Considerations

• Requires Mixing - Staff must correctly measure and mix the product with water before use.

• Consistency Relies on Procedure - Incorrect water ratios can affect flavour, texture and overrun if preparation procedures are not followed.

​

Liquid Soft Serve Mixes

Liquid soft serve mixes arrive pre-mixed and ready to pour directly into the machine. Examples include:

• Pauls UHT Soft Serve

• Maybelle UHT Soft Serve

• Koko Twist Vegan Soft Serve

 

Advantages

• Simplicity - Simply shake, pour and serve, no mixing required.

• Consistent Results - Every carton is manufactured to the same specification, reducing the risk of preparation errors.

• Reduced Staff Training - Ideal for businesses with high staff turnover, casual staff, limited preparation time.

• Faster Preparation - No measuring or mixing is required, allowing operators to focus on service.

​

Considerations

• Increased Storage Requirements - Liquid cartons require more storage space than powdered alternatives.

• Less Product Flexibility - Most liquid soft serve suppliers offer fewer flavour and product options compared with major powdered mix suppliers.
