Quick question for you all.
Been doing some more reading, apparently pear is a good flavor to add ‘juicyness’. Would it even be needed if I am making a Strawberry Ice cream?
I will be using ripe Strawberry and another Strawberry along with vanilla bean ice-cream, and maybe a cream (milky).

You could probably skip pear for a dessert mix, but you could add TPA dragonfruit for the strawberries to pop and for smoothness low % like 1%

Noted. What does the Dragon fruit do to the flavor to bump it up…more of a curiosity thing.

TPA dragonfruit helps make strawberries “pop “. And can also aid in smoothing out fruit mixes. I just made a mix, a simple strawberry and cream and used it at 2% Off the shake I can actually taste the dragonfruit, I usually don’t use it above 1-1.50%

It contains Triethyl citrate which is an ester of citric acid so it does make somethings pop but it is also an emulsifier so be careful when using it especially if you want to keep the flavors separate

Thanks, I couldn’t think of that word.
