September 28th is National Marmite Day when lovers of the distinctive yeast extract pay homage to its unique taste.
In recent years, we’ve seen Marmite crisps, peanut butter, popcorn and rice cakes, but what about Marmite ice cream?! As with all things Marmite, it’s an acquired taste . . . will Marmite feature in your display?

For the ice creamBlend the white base with the 240g of Marmite until fully mixed then pour into the batch freezer and select your usual gelato program. When extracting from the machine sprinkle the bread and Marmite inclusion mix you made the day before through the pan, making sure to get it into the corners as this will help carry the Marmite flavour. |
White base
Ingredients1030g milk (1 litre) (3.5% Fat) |
MethodTo calculate the amount of mix you require, multiply all elements/ingredients by 42 to make 60 litres of finished mix, or multiply all elements/ingredients by 21 to make 30 litres of finished mix. Start by mixing all the dry ingredients together, this prevents the skimmed milk powder from forming lumps as you add it to the milk. Start with the milk in the pasteuriser, select your desired pasteurisation program, we have used the low pasteurisation at 65˚C. Once your milk reaches 40˚C, gradually add all the dry ingredients. Once the mixture reaches 50˚C, add the cream. Let the pasteuriser run its program, taking the mixture up to 65˚C, then holding it at 65˚C for 30 minutes, then rapidly cooling the mixture to 4˚C. Once the mixture has reached 4˚C, allow the mixture to age for between 4 and 12 hours (12 hours being preferred for best results). |
