Flavor File
In a nutshell, OREO® Crème Icing Variegate adds the sweet flavor and texture of OREO® crème filling. Its potential for use on ice-cream menus is tremendous. We tapped our own Patty Mitchell, a certified master baker and senior executive chef at Kraft Foodservice, to explain the virtues of OREO® Crème Icing Variegate —chef to chef:
- flavor of OREO® Crème lingers in the mouth longer than the flavor of ice cream because of its higher melting point, so customer gets a richer OREO® experience
- adds depth to ice-cream recipes
- refrigerated, it gives you a density similar to corn syrup, so pours well over milkshakes and sundaes
- sandwiched between two ice-cream layers, when frozen, maintains the texture of the crème filling, so gives nice textural play in the dessert
Chef Mitchell's 5 favorite ice-cream uses for OREO® Crème Icing Variegate:
- Swirl into soft-serve ice cream
- Mix into milkshakes
- Layer into ice-cream cakes
- Drizzle over sundaes (like a caramel swirl)
- Garnish ice-cream pies
Mintel Menu Insights identifies fun as a fundamental characteristic of market innovation: "through the use of co-branding initiatives, unique toppings and original formats to deliver ice-cream treats that appeal to kids and adults."
