What is the recommended ice cream draw temperature?

The recommended ice cream draw temperature is crucial for achieving the ideal texture and consistency of the final product. A draw temperature in the range of 18-20 degrees Fahrenheit is effective because it allows the ice cream to maintain a soft enough texture for easy serving, while still being cold enough to ensure that it holds its shape and avoids excessive melting.

At this temperature, the ice cream can be dispensed from the machine efficiently, offering a smooth and creamy experience. If the temperature is too high, the ice cream may become too soft and unmanageable, while temperatures lower than this range could make the ice cream too hard, leading to difficulty in serving and consumption. Therefore, maintaining the draw temperature within 18-20 degrees also supports maintaining the quality and experience expected by consumers.
