When most people think of ice cream, they imagine fresh milk, cream and a traditional ice-cream machine. But today’s food industry – from home kitchens to cafés and large-scale manufacturing – is embracing something far more convenient: ice cream powder.
Lightweight, long-lasting and incredibly versatile, ice cream powder makes premium-quality ice cream available to everyone.

Below, we break down what makes ice cream powder such a smart choice and why Revala’s blends stand out.

What Is ice cream powder?

Ice cream powder is a carefully balanced dry mix of milk solids, sugars, stabilizers and flavor components. When combined with water or milk, it becomes a smooth, creamy ice-cream base that can be used in soft-serve machines, rolling ice cream plates or even mixed at home.

It delivers consistent texture, stable quality and delicious flavor every single time.

Key benefits of ice cream powder

1. Easy to use

Mix the powder with cold water or milk, allow it to hydrate, and freeze or process it in your preferred machine.
No advanced equipment or culinary skills needed.

2. Consistent results

Professional users appreciate predictable quality:

• smooth mouthfeel

• stable overrun

• reliable freezing performance
  This is especially important for soft-serve machines and rolling ice cream setups.

3. Cost-effective & space-saving

Unlike liquid mixes, ice cream powder has a long shelf life and is easy to transport and store.
For cafés, restaurants, kiosks and event catering, it reduces waste and logistical costs dramatically.

4. Highly versatile

Depending on the recipe, you can make:

• soft-serve ice cream

• rolling ice cream

• mixer-based homemade ice cream

• vegan or lactose-free ice cream

• gelato-style desserts

This flexibility makes ice cream powder ideal for both home use and professional production.
