Science of Gelato & Ice Cream
Create. Balance. Perfect. Anywhere.
IceForm Pro is the serious formulation studio for gelato, ice cream, and ganache professionals. It brings the mathematics of frozen and confectionery dessert science into a clean, intuitive workspace.
Every recipe is a balance of fat, sugars, solids, water, sweetness, and freezing behaviour. IceForm Pro turns that balance into precise, transparent mathematics, giving you full control over flavour, texture, cost, and nutrition.
New: An AI Assistant That Works the App With You
Ask in plain language, in any language, and watch the recipe change live. The assistant edits your recipe through the same tools you use, so it moves the inputs while the app does every calculation. It can never invent a number.
- Build a full recipe from a short description, or rebalance and adjust an existing one.
- Fill a new ingredient's composition from a name, a description, or a photo of the label.
- Choose how it balances: the built-in solver, the assistant's own formula, or automatic.
- Bring your own provider: Apple Intelligence on device, Google Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. Every change is yours to keep or discard.
Two Ways to Balance
- The adaptive IceForm profile: MSNF, Sugars and Total Solids ranges automatically adapt to the fat level you set; POD and PAC are balanced independently. Every limit is tunable.
- 30 built-in templates for specific product categories, grounded in established formulation science. Duplicate any profile or build your own and tailor every indicator range.
Powerful Features
- Automatic Recipe Balancing: multi-pass optimization brings Fat, MSNF, Sugars, Total Solids, Water, POD, PAC, Protein and more into target ranges, respecting ingredient locks and per-ingredient min/max limits.
- Ganache Mode: a dedicated recipe type with Aw, Brix, SFC@20/28, pH, caramelization and melting points, plastic range, shelf life, consistency, fatty-acid profile (SFA/MUFA/PUFA), cocoa components, and formulation ratios.
- Advanced metrics and visuals: Balance Radar, PAC and POD, MSNF, Hardening Factor, frozen water %, overrun, lactose concentration, glycemic index, Coldness Perception, and a freezing-curve chart (Celsius and Fahrenheit).
- Scoopability gauge plus evaporation and overrun simulation: see how pasteurization loss and aeration change every indicator in real time.
- Ingredient lock and precise rescaling: lock critical ingredients and rescale the rest mathematically.
- 300+ curated ingredient database, plus direct import from USDA FoodData Central by name or GTIN, or add your own via a guided composition editor.
- Cost and nutrition insights per 100 g and per serving, and compliant US (FDA) and EU nutrition labels ready to print.
- Recipes as ingredients, file-based share and import, iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and in-app guides for balancing, ganache, and the assistant.
Precision You Can See
- Color-coded indicator grid: Balanced, Deficient, Excessive, at a glance.
- Fully customizable standards for any indicator, including separate dairy and sorbet profiles.
- Real-time feedback: correct manually or let the balancer adjust automatically.
Perfect for
- Ice cream, gelato and ganache manufacturers
- Cafés, restaurants, pastry shops and bakeries
- Food technologists and culinary schools
- R&D labs, product developers, and home artisans

Privacy
Your recipes and ingredients are yours alone. IceForm Pro never collects, accesses, or transmits your recipe data. Everything stays on your device and, if you choose, in your private iCloud. When you use the AI assistant, only your request and the recipe data it needs are sent to the provider you choose, under that provider's terms; on-device Apple Intelligence keeps everything local.

- This app’s overall rating was recently reset.
- A faster, more reliable balancer. The balancing engine was rebuilt: it finds the answer in a fraction of a second, makes the smallest change from your amounts so it keeps the character of your recipe, and never exceeds a dose limit.
- Pick real products, get a clear summary. Ask for a branded ingredient and the assistant shows matching products with photos so you choose the right one. Every recipe is presented as a tidy card: ingredients, key numbers and the method.
- Sugar-free, done properly. The assistant formulates no-added-sugar gelato with polyols and fibres, balances it, and keeps every sweetener within a safe dose.
- A deeper knowledge base. The built-in reference grew with professional gelato and pastry science, so the assistant reasons from real formulation practice, dosing norms and technique.
