IceForm Pro

Ice Cream & Gelato Recipe Calc

Free · In‑App Purchases

Balancing is free: the sample recipe, one recipe and three ingredients of your own. New subscribers try Pro free for 3 days or Pro+ for 2 weeks. We make ice cream ourselves, in our own production, since 2015. IceForm Pro is where we balance our own mixes, and where a recipe becomes a tech card, a label, a batch on the floor and a price you can defend. We share what we have learned here and grow the app alongside our lab. Before it we used spreadsheets and calculators that always missed something. Once that cost us a whole batch. Every mistake since has left a limit or a warning in this app. THE RECIPE EDITOR When a figure leaves its range, the editor tells you how to bring it back: how many grams of which ingredient to add or take out, and what else that move fixes or breaks. The one you pick is applied with a tap. Or press Balance, and the app works out the whole recipe at once, keeping the lines you lock and the limits you set. - The adaptive IceForm profile: MSNF, sugars and solids follow your fat, PAC and POD balance on their own. - 32 built-in profiles for gelato, ice cream, sorbet and more, or your own. - A serving goal, display case, pozzetto or freezer, and the PAC hint points the right way. - The draft writes itself, and every save is a version you can compare and go back to. WHAT YOU SEE PAC and POD, MSNF, hardening factor, frozen water at serving temperature, the freezing curve, overrun, coldness, scoopability and a balance radar. GANACHE Water activity, Brix, SFC at 20 and 28 °C, pH, plastic range and shelf life. THE INGREDIENT STUDIO 340+ curated ingredients with full composition, sugars per USDA, PAC and POD worked out from what is in them. Import from USDA by name or barcode, or add your own in one editor. On Mac and iPad the library is a table that edits many ingredients at once. A finished recipe can become an ingredient in another. THE DAY ON THE FLOOR Home opens on what you were doing and what needs you. A batch runs as a shift with timers and readings. A recipe becomes products, pints, pans, cups, bars, each with its own pack, yield and price, and every lot carries the cost it was made at. WHAT IT COSTS AND EARNS Cost per litre, kilogram, scoop and piece, frozen into each batch the day it is made. Price and margin by channel after commission, break-even in portions a day, and the assortment split into stars, workhorses, puzzles and ballast. Eight reports, exported as a spreadsheet. THE ASSISTANT Ask in plain words, in any language. It drafts a recipe, rebalances one, or fills an ingredient from a name or a photo of its label. It proposes, you decide. You choose the AI provider: on this device, or in the cloud with your own account or key. iPhone, iPad and Mac, with iCloud sync. SUBSCRIPTION Balancing is free: the sample recipe, fully editable, the full read-out on anything you build, and one recipe and three ingredients of your own. Pro adds the ingredient library, USDA and barcode import, import and export, tech cards, the calculators and the assistant. Pro+ adds stock and orders, production, costing, prices and margins. New subscribers can try Pro free for 3 days or Pro+ for 2 weeks. If a subscription lapses, everything you made stays readable. PRIVACY Your recipes stay on your device and in your own iCloud. We never see them and train nothing on them. A cloud assistant sends your request to the provider you chose. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Preferences.

This release brings ganache into the new recipe editor and lets production plan in what it actually sells: packs, kilograms and litres. Recipes, ingredients and products can now carry photos. Ganache in the new editor Ganache has its own tab in the recipe editor, with water activity and shelf life always in view. Balance aims at water activity as well as sugars, fat and cocoa solids, across fifteen schemes from bonbon and truffle to a pourable glaze and a chocolate sauce for ice cream. The assistant knows ganache too. The classic editor is gone; what it did, the new one does. Packs by weight or by volume A pack states its contents the way your market does: grams and kilograms, millilitres and litres, or fluid ounces, pints, quarts and gallons. Presets for the US, for Europe and for markets that sell by weight: a 330 g cup, a 2.5 kg catering tub, a pint. For a pack sold by weight, overrun no longer changes how much mix it takes, and the app tells you when 330 g will not fit the cup. Plan in packs Plan and produce in kilograms of mix, kilograms or litres of ice cream, or in packs: 1,200 cups of 330 g and 400 of 230 g. The app works out the mix and every ingredient in it, and after the batch the finished goods are filled in from the same list. Packs and products are edited and removed where you see them, the recipe card included. Photos Add photos to recipes, ingredients, packs and products: take one with the camera, pick it from Photos or a file, or drag it in. The first one is the cover. The display case shows each product's photo, or its recipe's. Recipes and ingredients are exported with their photos. The whole ingredient from a recipe Tap an ingredient in a recipe to see all of it, with its name on the label, its price and possible traces, and edit it right there. On Mac the editor opens in its own window, next to the recipe. Fixed Nutrition labels now count the carbohydrates of ingredients that had none entered, so the figures for some recipes go up. Minerals and vitamins were printed in grams as if they were milligrams; they read in milligrams now, in the ingredient editor too. A share under one percent no longer shows as 0 %.
