Soft Serve is one of the tastiest things we know! It is a type of soft ice cream that is dispensed from a machine instead of being served by hand. The Ice Cream machines in our Mr Whippy vans work much the same way as the machines do in an ice cream factory, except our ice cream is the freshest it can be and isn’t so cold.
Soft Serve is produced at a temperature of 4°C compared to rolled ice cream which is stored at -15°C. A warmer temperature allows the taste buds to detect more flavour.
Our Mr Whippy Soft Serve Ice cream is a unique recipe and is made to the highest quality standards in New Zealand. It has a distinctive vanilla flavour and creamy texture that appeals to both children and adults. Our Mr Whippy ice cream is made primarily from skim milk and cream. It is 90% fat free and contains less sugar than other ice creams and snack bars. Each Operator should have a copy of the ingredient, nutritional and allergy information.
No way! Our Mr Whippy soft serve ice cream doesn’t contain any pig fat, chicken fat and is 100% vegetarian. Our soft serve mix is made in New Zealand, using fresh cream and is 90% fat free. It also contains one of the lowest amounts of sugar when compared to some other soft serve ice creams and our single serve ice cream contains about 200 calories.
We certainly are and proud to be. We are also lactovegetarian friendly.
Being made from dairy milk, naturally it contains dairy products. However, it is soy, egg and gluten free. Some of the vans also have gluten-free cones and they all have tubs – just in case. Our ice cream is also Halal and Kosher certifiable.
Although you will find Mr Whippy Ice cream in Australia and the United Kingdom as well as New Zealand (Mr Whippy originated from the UK), we are not owned by the same organisation. In New Zealand it is a franchise operation: that means that the brand in owned by a Franchisor and each van is then owned by a franchisee or owner/operator. Not only are all the owner/operators local to your communities, the owners of the New Zealand franchise are also all Kiwis, making it a truly New Zealand company.
Ever since we started, our vans have played a distinctive tune called ‘Greensleeves’. Although this chime is owned by Mr Whippy, some of our competitors want to sound like a Mr Whippy – look out for our distinctive red & white vans with the Mr Whippy logo.
