A creamy texture looks good, tastes good and feels good.
Food is multi-dimensional and eating creates a full sensory experience. To see a creamy texture shows that good quality products, skill and care has been invested. When consumed, the mixture spreads evenly throughout the mouth, creating an enjoyable mouthfeel, and it lingers on the palate. This allows the flavour to develop so the customer can enjoy the taste for a few moments after consumption.
The perfect creamy texture is not always easy to realise - there's a balance to be found between high quality ingredients, the right process for your recipe and having the skill to execute it. However, this page should provide you with all three! Sosa's specialist creamy texture products are recommended below, along with expert advice and application recommendations.
Read on for the know-how to create a creamy texture that'll captivate your customers from the first sight of your creation, to the last bite!
How to achieve the perfect creamy texture
- Emulsify
Not all liquids blend harmoniously so emulsifiers are a useful tool to assist the process. They create a mix that is stable and has a homogenous structure which results in a smooth and creamy texture. - Quality fats
Sources that provide high quality fats include eggs, dairy, vegetables and some fruits, such as coconut. Incorporating these ingredients into your creations is a great way of providing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. - Dairy
Dairy-based ingredients include cream, milk and butter. Incorporating these into your recipe provides your creations with a delicious flavour and improves the creaminess of them. - Stabilisers
Stabilisers include gelatine, starch and xanthan gum, and they are great at improving and maintaining food structure. These ingredients retain water which prevents ice crystals, resulting in a smooth texture, creamy mouthfeel and pro-longing the life of your creations. - Cool and rest
Some recipes will require a cool and rest process, to ensure the desired consistency is formed. Such recipes include pastry cream, whereby the mix must cool down slowly, allowing the ingredients to settle together, improving the end texture.
