Used this to boost the strawberry flavor for cupcakes. Worked beautifully and the taste was really rich in real strawberry flavor. Would purchase again.
What is Freeze Dried Ice Cream Strawberry?
Freeze Dried Ice Cream Strawberry is produced by freezing formulated ice-cream pieces (with real strawberry inclusions or swirls), then removing ice by sublimation under vacuum. The result is an aerated, crispy structure that retains concentrated strawberry aroma and creaminess without requiring refrigeration.
Shelf-stable indulgence: Freeze Dried Ice Cream Strawberry offers a long shelf life when packaged with barrier films + oxygen control; ideal for ambient retail.
Intense strawberry & cream flavour: Low-temperature sublimation concentrates aroma compounds — delivering pronounced strawberry notes.
Lightweight for efficient logistics: Reduced freight cost per unit compared to frozen goods.
Ready-to-eat & mess-free: No rehydration needed — melts on the tongue for premium mouthfeel.
Customisable coatings & inclusions: Milk/dark/white chocolate coatings, freeze-dried strawberry pieces, inclusions (crumbs, sprinkles) available on request.
Freeze Dried Ice Cream Strawberry merges ripe strawberry flavor with the melt-in-the-mouth sensation of ice cream, preserved by industrial lyophilization to create a lightweight, shelf-stable chocolate-coated treat ideal for retail, gifting and travel-retail channels.
Production-scale freeze-dry lines for consistent batch quality and traceability.
Global certifications available (BRC/FDA/HACCP; Halal/Kosher on request) to meet EU/US/Middle East market needs.
OEM & custom packaging (retail pouches, tins, gift boxes); MAP/nitrogen flush & oxygen absorbers for long shelf life.
Export experience to EU, North America, GCC and East Asia — flexible MOQs (1×20ft standard, LCL/mixed containers for market tests).
Branded retail single-serve pouches and premium gift tins.
Novelty & travel retail (airports, tourist shops), impulse counters.
Inclusion as a crunchy topping in cereals, granola bars, confectionery and ice cream sundaes.
Co-packing for subscription snack boxes and airline amenity kits.

We implement full raw material traceability for strawberry puree and dairy inputs, in-line weight checks, metal detection and batch COAs for moisture, aw and microbiology. Freeze-dry cycle programs (frozen temperature profiles, primary/secondary drying) are controlled to protect structure and minimize oxidation—this is the technical factor that separates premium Freeze Dried Ice Cream Strawberry from poor-quality crunchy snacks.

Q1: Is the strawberry flavor natural or from concentrates?
A1: We use real strawberry puree or freeze-dried strawberry inclusions by default; we can also supply formulations with natural concentrates on request. All fruit batches are traceable and tested for Brix and microbiology.
Q2: What residual moisture and water activity are you targeting for product safety?
A2: Target residual moisture is typically <3–5% and water activity is reduced to levels that inhibit microbial growth — both are measured and included in the COA for each export lot. Final targets depend on coating and ingredient matrix; we validate via lab testing.
Q3: Will the chocolate coating crack during freeze-drying?
A3: Proper formulation and processing avoid cracking. We optimize chocolate fat profile (emulsifiers, tempering) and freeze cycle to maintain an intact, pleasant crunch. Small process adjustments are made per formulation to prevent bloom or cracking.
Q4: What packaging achieves the longest practical shelf life for export?
A4: Metallized barrier pouches with nitrogen flush + oxygen absorbers or sealed metal tins with inner barrier deliver the best results for 18–36 month claims depending on product. We can run shelf-life tests to establish your label claim.
Q5: Can you supply allergen statements, COAs and MSDS for export customs?
A5: Yes — every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis (moisture, aw, microbiology), allergen declarations, and MSDS on request. We support regulatory labeling for EU, USA, GCC and East Asia markets.
Q6: Is the product marketed as rehydratable or ready-to-eat?
A6: The product is formulated as ready-to-eat — designed to be crunchy and to melt in the mouth rather than reconstitute to a frozen texture.
