Frozen Desserts
“ Our Craft Cordials are natural ingredients, which define silky textures and unique taste of frozen desserts. They also facilitate the process of freezing dairy products in presence of high liquid content - juices or alcoholic beverages. Our innovative recipes match flavor of a particular cordial with a boozy power of your favorite drink.”
A New Chapter
To our knowledge natural yogurts don’t freeze well in presence of liquids, especially alcohol, assuming that the goal is to make an edible product. High alcohol content would lead to a watery texture, forming large ice crystals in froyos UNLESS you use SPICEN Craft Cordials in your dairy blends...

Frozeta
This is what we have named Spicen frozen yogurts – unique, exquisite desserts we created by infusing froyos with natural juices, syrups and alcoholic beverages. The alcohol-free version is called Frozeta. The alcohol-infused delicacy is named Frozeta²¹ .
Both types of desserts can be made at home using the brilliant invention – Cuisinart yogurt machine. Business venues that operate at high traffic sites can use Taylor or Spaceman equipment to make final products on a commercial scale.
Our Craft Cordials are natural ingredients, which define silky textures and unique taste of frozen desserts. They facilitate the process of freezing dairy products in presence of high liquid content - juices or alcoholic beverages. Our innovative recipes match the flavor of a particular cordial with a boozy power of your favorite drink.
A typical process to make Frozetas includes blending of Craft Cordials with a Greek yogurt, juice or an alcoholic beverage in exact proportions to achieve an ideal texture of soft-served Froyos. We recommend fatty yogurts because fat content of yogurt mixtures falls below 2% upon dilution with other ingredients.
General Prep
- Make sure you place a freezing bowl of a Cuisinart yogurt machine into a very anxious freezer for at least 24h to achieve the temperature inside the bowl somewhere between -18-21 C .
- Blend at high speed 500g of FAGE 5% total fat Greek yogurt, one 16 Oz bottle of SPICEN Craft Cordial and 2.5 - 3 ounce of either juice or a hard liquor of your choice. Generally, we would not recommend exceeding 3 ounce of liquid for this quantity of final products.
- Blend for 2-3 min until mixture becomes homogeneous. Giving two-three spoon stirs might be desirable to facilitate distribution of all ingredients in a blender. Make sure you stop blending process when you stir yogurt mixtures with a spoon. Otherwise, your countertops and a celling will be happier than you are.
Freezing
A blend of yogurt ingredients is transferred to a cold bowl, and placed on a rotor of Cuisinart machine to rotate with stirring for 40-45 min. The process may take 5-10 min less if a yogurt mixture visited your refrigerator for ~ 2-3 h at + 4 C prior to freezing.
The important indicator for your guests to start taking seats around the table is
when the yogurt mixture stops moving inside the bowl. Give it one spoon stir and leave Frozeta alone for 10 more min. You will not regret your patience. Done!
Few Tips
- Apply temperature within -18-21 C range. This can be easily achieved with commercial equipment. We would recommend measuring the temperature inside the Cuisinart freezing bowl prior to making Frozetas in your kitchen. It takes 24-48 h to chill a bowl in a freezer.
- Use Greek yogurts only to make froyos according to our recipes. We recommend the FAGE plane, 5 % total fat natural yogurt.
- Don’t exceed dramatically the amount of liquids added to yogurt compositions, which are shown in the exemplary recipes. A shot of tequila at the dinner table may stifle the urge to make Frozeta²¹ stronger when the dessert time comes.
- Cuisinart machines have an open space at the top. A freezing process takes less time if you cover that space with a clean towel. This tip makes a big difference in the kitchens with a hot environment.
