Description
Louis Francois Raspberry Chunks are dehydrated raspberry pieces that provide concentrated tart-sweet fruit flavour, colour and crisp texture for professional pastry, chocolate and frozen-dessert production. The dehydrated format allows raspberry character to be incorporated without adding the water associated with fresh fruit or purée, making it useful where both flavour intensity and recipe balance need to be maintained.
Applications
- Ice cream and frozen desserts
- Chocolate bars, bonbons and ganache
- Yogurt and dairy preparations
- Cookies and baked goods
- Marshmallow and confectionery
- Infusions and beverages
- Finishing and decorative inclusions
Use
Incorporate directly where visible fruit pieces and texture are desired. Raspberry Chunks can also be crushed or ground for finer inclusions, coatings, infusions or applications where a more even distribution of raspberry flavour is preferred.
Recommended Dosage
- Ice cream: approximately 2.5%
- Chocolate: approximately 4%
- Yogurt: approximately 3%
- Infusion: approximately 1%
- Cookies: approximately 4%
Louis François gives a general working range of approximately 10–40g/kg. Adjust according to the application and desired flavour and texture.
