Then, the mixture is pasteurized, and after pasteurization, the mix is homogenized, which forms the fat emulsion. Then the mixture is aged. Once the mix is drawn into a flavor tank that is when the flavors, fruit purees, or colors are added. The dynamic freezing process freezes a portion of the water and whips air into the frozen mix. The ice cream is packaged and is placed into a blast freezer.
