Charts

Charts set target ranges for recipe properties like fat, solids, POD, PAC and serving temperature. Read chart colors, use personal and default (standard) charts, copy and edit charts, set Min, Max, Target and High Priority, create a chart from a recipe, compare recipes and auto-scale.

Balancing

Balance ice cream recipes automatically with Smart Balance: choose a chart, set ingredient classes (Flav, Stab, Emul, Fib, HIS), lock ingredients, Classify with AI, read the balance result, get balance advice, balance to snapshot, and quick-adjust PAC and POD.

Flavor Profile

Radar chart of five taste and texture scores (Sweetness, Creaminess, Coldness, Body, Scoopability) calculated from your recipe and your temperature settings. Compare a recipe with reference styles or another recipe, served as ice cream or gelato.

Recipe Data Calculation System

How Ice Cream Calc calculates hundreds of recipe data items: the mix, nutrition and cost bases, /Water and /TS suffixes, PAC, POD, perceived sweetness, serving temperatures, label values, the Recipe Data dialog and custom formulas.

Balancing for Different Ice Cream Types

How to approach balancing for different styles: the decisions that define a style (eggs, fat, solids, sweetness, serving temperature), which default chart to choose, and how to set up Smart Balance for vanilla and other small-dose flavors, chocolate, and fruit.
