CHOCOSHELL is a chocolate taste powder mix for the production of homemade and professional low-fat ice cream. It contains cocoa beans shell, a cocoa’s by-product obtained from the roasting process. It is used as a fat-replacer thanks to its high amount of dietary fiber, which guarantees an excellent texture and an improved melting resistance. Moreover, cocoa shells are rich in natural antioxidants and aromatic compounds. The final product has organoleptic and sensory characteristics similar to high-quality handmade chocolate ice cream. CHOCOSHELL contains only a few additives (guar gum and locust bean gum) which are totally natural, has no artificial sweeteners and only 4% of fats, but more than 3% of dietary fiber. For the preparation of the ice cream, the customer will need to supplement only heated milk and cream to the mix and then whisk the mixture. The product comes out with an innovative packaging, eco-friendly and reusable by the end user to store and contain the ice cream. All these features allow a reduction of CO2 emission.
