Jäätisesegu

Jäätisesegu, often translated as "ice cream mix" or "ice cream base," refers to the foundational blend of ingredients used to create ice cream. The core components typically include a dairy product, such as milk or cream, a sweetener like sugar, and flavorings. Stabilizers and emulsifiers are also frequently incorporated to improve texture, prevent ice crystal formation, and ensure a smooth consistency.

The process of making jäätisesegu involves carefully combining these ingredients, often through heating to dissolve the sugar and pasteurize the mixture, followed by chilling to prepare it for churning. Different types of jäätisesegu exist, varying in their fat content and the specific dairy sources used, which directly impacts the final richness and texture of the ice cream. Some mixes are designed for home use, offering convenience, while others are formulated for commercial production, requiring specialized equipment. The versatility of jäätisesegu allows for a wide array of flavors and variations, forming the basis for countless ice cream products enjoyed worldwide.
