These concentrated ice cream flavorings and beverage flavorings are made specifically for cold recipes. Whether you're blending up a milkshake, churning homemade ice cream, or mixing a fun float, Flavor Fountain gives you smooth, bold flavor without the heaviness of syrups or the fade-out you get from alcohol-based extracts.

What Are LorAnn Flavor Fountain Flavorings?

Unlike extracts, they don’t require alcohol to carry the flavor—so you get a better, more consistent result in anything frozen or blended.

How Can You Use Them?

Whether you're making a single milkshake or prepping a batch of soft-serve, LorAnn Flavor Fountain gives you flexibility and control over your flavors. These ice cream and beverage flavorings are extremely versatile and work across a variety of recipes:

  • Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt – Add to your base before churning
  • Milkshakes – Blend with ice cream and milk for a quick-flavor boost
  • Smoothies – Mix into fruit, yogurt, or protein-based smoothies
  • Gelato, Soft-Serve & Sherbet – Flavors hold up in commercial and home machines
  • Old-Fashioned Floats & Soda Fountain Drinks – Add to soda water or a bubbly mixer with a scoop of ice cream

Basic Usage Recommendations

A good starting point is to use 1 tablespoon of flavoring per quart of base. For stronger flavors like citrus or mint, try starting with 1 teaspoon, then taste and adjust as needed.

Every recipe is a little different, so treat this as a flexible guideline. The beauty of these ice cream flavorings and beverage flavorings is that you can customize the flavor to your liking without compromising texture or balance.
