Ice cream fillings and sauces: the 3 types
Ice cream fillings and sauces are essentials for an indulgent ice cream creation. Swirl them in your stick, pint and tub, create a pencil at the heart of your stick or cone, include a thick core at the center of your pint, or add an interlayer between your coatings and your ice cream stick as the iconic Magnum Double… possibilities are infinite!
Ice cream fillings and sauces: play with textures!
At Barry Callebaut, we master three different types of textures for ice cream fillings:
1 - Fat-based fillings with fast-melting properties
Thanks to the special fat matrices, these products appear hard at frozen temperatures, though melt rapidly and faster than the ice cream base in your mouth, creating an extra multisensorial dimension.
2 - Water-based, freezestable sauces
These recipes do not freeze at negative temperatures, therefore deliver a soft, jam-like mouthfeel in every bite.
3 - Freezestable fruit curds
Thanks to the special emulsion technique, these recipes have an extra creamy texture at frozen temperatures, similar to an English curd - though without any egg or cheese added. These products are the perfect choice if you are looking for extra creaminess in every bite.

Ice cream compound coatings
On top of fillings, you can use compound coatings to add an extra crunchy layer to your frozen treat. Here, the key is to select the right fat matrix to ensure the desired mouthfeel, being it a thick, hard cracking layer or an extra thin one.
Our range includes:
1 - Compound coatings for enrobing and dipping applications
Depending on the fat content and the fat matrix, you can achieve the desired level of thickness, cracking and melting behavior. This range is developed specifically for sticks, sandwiches and bites.
2 - Compound coatings for spraying cones and crunchy multilayers
The extra fineness of these recipes allows you to create a thin barrier to protect your wafer cone or create extra thin crunchy layers within your ice cream dessert!
