Pasteurizing at The Screamery

The Screamery in Tucson is the first in the city to pasteurize its own ice cream. Produced by Loc Tran.

But aren’t they essentially pasteurizing dairy that’s already been pasteurized?

[@reesafish]

Yup. Because they are manipulating the temperature of dairy protein in order to get the molecules to emulsify correctly (read: to get a smooth end product) AND to add flavorings.

I wonder how they cool down their mix though, I see the pasteurizer and the batch freezer, but didn’t hear about aging the mix after it has been made and extracted from the pasteurizer. I’m actually interested in learning where they got their pasteurizer, it looks great!
