Frozen Dairy Dessert Ingredients and Allergens
Ingredients
There are only ten main ingredients in this sweet treat. Here is the list of ingredients in the Extra Creamy Chocolate Frozen Dairy Dessert.
Ingredients:Milk, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Cream, Dutched Cocoa (processed with alkali), Whey, Vegetable Gums (carob bean, guar, tara), Mono and Diglycerides, Vitamin A Palmitate, Natural Flavor.
Why is Cocoa Processed with Alkali?
Cocoa alkalization is the process of treating cocoa solids to reduce the natural acidity and thus improve the flavor. A food-grade alkali solution raises the pH to improve the color and increase the flavor profile of the chocolate. Another term used that refers to the same process is “dutched” cocoa.
Common alkali solutions used in processing cocoa include potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide. Depending on the solution, the resulting color ranges from a light red to a dark charcoal black.
Allergens
