Dessert or Dessert Topping 2009

Outstanding Dessert or Dessert Topping 2009: PreGel AMERICA, Inc. Pink Grapefruit Super Sprint

With upscale frozen desserts making Entrepreneur magazine’s 2008 Hot List, it’s no surprise that this high-quality base used to make a variety of frozen treats is award-worthy. What makes PreGel AMERICA’s Pink Grapefruit Super Sprint extraordinary is its versatility. “Imagination is the key—a cup of sorbetto, a nice soft-serve cone, an in-between-courses palate cleanser, a pairing on a dessert flight, a layer in a gelato cake, a tropical sundae or a daring cocktail. There are so many options.”

This light grapefruit flavor makes a superior sorbet or gelato, and the simplicity of the process is why chefs and caterers rely on it. There’s no need to source ingredients or to measure to make traditional gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt. Just add milk or water and one bag of Super Sprint, mix in a commercial blender and pour into a batch freezer. (A 2.4-pound bag makes 1 pan, or 130 ounces, of gelato.) “The delicate, yet refreshing flavor allows it to complement other gelato and sorbetto flavors, as well as cocktails and drinks,” adds Casol.  

Made in Italy’s Reggio-Emilia region, PreGel begins with fresh, authentic and natural ingredients, obtained from reliable and sustainable sources throughout the world. Go to whygelato.com to locate your favorite gelato.—D. Shoukas
