I'm thinking of doing something similar with a frozen lemonade product.Create a neutral frozen lemonade slushy base and add the flavorings similar to this.What is your view? Regards Yuluv Fruit Ices.
If I was a customer ordering a shake, I'd feel like I was getting an inferior product if I ordered a strawberry shake and got vanilla ice cream with a shot of syrup. If a syrup had to be used, I'd think strawberry (or whatever) ice cream + a shot of strawberry syrup would create a better impression for the customer.
@@ScoopSchool Hey love the channel. Sorry for the long story but Milkshakes have been the biggest headache for us since we opened…. Some background.. I own a restaurant in Columbus that was originally founded by my Dad in the 80s and was known for our Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries and Ice Cream. We make all our own Ice Cream and we were actually voted best chocolate ice cream in America back in 1983 and there were actually 100 locations around the country at its peak but because a few bad business decisions there are only a few franchises left in Indiana and Kentucky. And the concept is almost like if FiveGuys or ShakeShack and a scoop shop had a baby. But anyway fast forward to 5 years ago we are trying to restart the brand in Columbus and the biggest “headache” we have had is the demand for milkshakes. Our Ice Cream is a super premium product (18% butterfat, 10-12% overrun) and is extra creamy and does not have a “gummy” after taste, and when you spin our ice cream into a milkshake everything that we makes our ice cream goes away, I a lot of times compare turning our ice cream into a milkshake like ordering a Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon and coke. When we opened we were selling over 300 milkshakes a day, and even when we got through our Honeymoon phase we are still averaging close to 100 shakes a day and sometime over 200. So a few years ago we started promoting 2 “levels” of milkshake flavors…5 classic flavors (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies and cream, peanut butter, and buckeye (made with a Vanilla or Chocolate Ice cream base which is the least expensive ice cream we can buy) and “Elite” flavors made with our house made ice cream for people like @raymond132 who want the shake made with the house made ice cream that they will just have to pay more for. But the con to this is we only have one size milkshake (16oz) and when someone just orders a shake they are normally not stickershocked but a $7.99 price for a milkshake but when they get a burger fry and milkshake they are shocked that their total is $18/$19. I once had a guy point to the size of a milkshake cup say “that’s the size of your milkshake? That’s a rip off. I’ll have 2 strawberries. I thought he was kidding at first but as he kept complaining I realized he was being serious. Have you ever seen a situation like this. How can I better make people realize that like you explain in this video that ice cream flavors don't alway translate to milkshake well.
I have never run an icecream parlour, but i did find this video interesting

Hi headmaster, can you talk about the difference between cold and hot process when making gelato?
How about using emulco's as a flavouring ?

Hey Mike - There are many different ways to skin a strawberry shake - I get it. Thanks for viewing
