Açaí Soft Serve Mix
Real açaí that ships dry, stores on a shelf, and becomes soft serve in twenty minutes. Allen Lee Foods Açaí Soft Serve Mix is a powder made from açaí grown in Pará, Brazil. One 1 kg (2.2 lb) pouch whisked into one US gallon of water makes about 1.2 gallons of soft serve base for any standard soft serve machine. Sealed pouches keep for 18 months at room temperature.
Why shelf-stable
Shelf-stable mix changes the math.
Frozen açaí needs freezer trucks, freezer warehouses and freezer space in-store. The mix removes all three. For operations without frozen logistics, or menus adding açaí as one item among many, it is the lowest-friction way to serve real açaí.
No waste on a slow week
You mix a gallon at a time. What you don't mix is still sealed, still good, and still worth what you paid for it.
No freezer
Pouches store at room temperature for 18 months. The freezer space you would have given açaí stays free for the rest of your menu.
No reefer freight
It ships dry and at room temperature: no refrigerated truck, no dry ice, no warehouse pickup.
Step by step
Five steps, twenty minutes.
- 1
Measure
Pour 1 US gallon (3.79 L) of filtered, room-temperature water into a clean container.
- 2
Add
Add the entire contents of one 1 kg (2.2 lb) pouch.
- 3
Whisk
Whisk until fully dissolved with no lumps, about two minutes.
- 4
Rest
Let it rest 20 minutes so the mix hydrates completely.
- 5
Pour
Pour into the machine and run it exactly as you would a dairy mix.
Overrun. Run it as a non-dairy sorbet base, typically 25–40%. Lower overrun gives the denser, spoonable texture bowl customers expect; higher overrun stretches yield for cones.
The numbers
What one 1 kg pouch makes
About 30 servings of 150 ml (5 oz), or about 150 servings from five pouches.
| Dilution | 1 kg pouch to 1 US gallon of water, about one part mix to four parts water by weight |
|---|---|
| Finished volume | ≈ 4.5 L (1.2 gal) per pouch, before machine overrun |
| Servings at 150 ml (5 oz) | ≈ 30 per pouch |
| Servings at 100 ml (3.4 oz) | ≈ 45 per pouch |
| Blended bowls | ≈ 10 per pouch at 100 g mix + 300 g ice + 50 ml water |
| Açaí juice | 1 kg in 1.5 gallons of water, served over ice |
| Prep time | 2 minutes of work + 20 minutes resting |
| Storage before mixing | Shelf-stable: no freezer, no refrigeration, 18 months |
Side by side
Shelf-stable mix vs. a frozen tub
| Measure | Allen Lee Foods mix · 5 pouches | One 3-gallon frozen tub |
|---|---|---|
| Finished product | ≈ 6 gallons (22.5 L) | 3 gallons |
| How it ships | Dry, at room temperature | Refrigerated freight |
| Storage before use | Dry shelf, 18 months | Freezer at −18 °C (0 °F) |
| If the cold chain breaks | Nothing to break: it is not frozen | Total loss of the tub |
| Waste on a slow week | None: you mix what you sell | Whatever thaws or expires |
Yield is one 1 kg pouch per US gallon of water; machine overrun adds further volume.
Before you order
You'll need a soft serve machine.
Once hydrated, the mix behaves like a non-dairy soft serve base. Gravity-fed or pressurized, floor or countertop: Taylor, Spaceman, Carpigiani, Stoelting, Electro Freeze and Donper among them. No modification, no special hopper, no dedicated line.
Besides the machine you need filtered water at room temperature, a whisk or long spoon, and a clean container that holds a gallon. Model not on the list? Send it to us and we'll confirm before you order.
No machine? Blend it. 100 g of mix, 300 g of ice and 50 ml of water makes an açaí bowl. One pouch makes about ten bowls.
