Weikfield Freeze Ice Cream Mixes – Our Review Factors
For our review of the Weikfield Freeze Ice Cream Mixes, we have taken into account multiple factors –
1. Ingredients
For a better, informed purchase, always make sure to keep a check on the list of ingredients.
The ingredients have a huge impact on the taste and texture of any ice cream mix. The prime ingredients that go into any ice cream include milk, cream, and sugar. An ice cream with a higher content of milk fat has an extremely smooth texture. On the contrary, ice creams having less than 10% milk fat are termed as low-fat ice creams. The inclusion of milk solids is what makes any ice cream differ from a frozen dessert. If an ‘ice cream’ is made using vegetable fat, it is labeled as a frozen dessert.
We checked the list of ingredients to know different aspects – What is the primary ingredient used in the ice cream mix? Does this ice cream mix contain fat? If yes, in which form? Is there presence of milk solids or does it just contain vegetable fat?
2. Taste
We buy packaged food since it can be prepared quickly and for the taste that it delivers. The whole purpose of buying packaged food is of no use if it fails to deliver on taste. We reviewed the two variants of the Weikfield Freeze Ice Cream Mixes on how flavorful they turn out post-freezing.
How was the taste of these two variants? Did it feel artificial or had the creaminess of a real ice cream? How dominant is the flavor of strawberry or butterscotch in these two variants?
3. Texture
Any ice cream tastes best if it has a smooth texture and is creamy. Ice cream that lacks this factor will affect the overall experience. How is the texture of this freeze mix? Is it creamy or has it become grainy and icy? This factor will help us get a better idea of how the ice cream tastes post-freezing.
4. Consistency
The consistency of an ice cream is another important factor while reviewing the overall experience of ice cream. The consistency determines for how long an ice cream will retain its shape and start to melt. The rate at which any ice cream melts is influenced by the presence of emulsifiers and stabilizers. Did the ice cream melt quickly?

1. Butterscotch
We first reviewed the Butterscotch flavor of the Weikfield Freeze Ice Cream Mix. A 100 gm pack of this Ice cream freeze mix comes at a price of INR 50.
For preparing this butterscotch ice cream we followed the instructions in the exact same way as mentioned on the pack. This butterscotch mix is yellow in color.
On cooking, there was a significant aroma of butterscotch, almost toffee-like. Toffee is basically butterscotch that is cooked for a longer period of time. When the ice cream was set, the aroma of butterscotch seemed very artificial and left us dissapointed.
Taste-wise we were not impressed with the flavor of butterscotch. The sugar levels were high and hence the ice cream felt overly sweet. Though we were able to easily remove scoops of this ice cream, the fact that it was melting fast was a let down.
This was low on visual appeal as well. The texture was not impressive! It had an almost lacy and strand-like texture which reduced the overall experience of the product.

The ice cream was prepared following the exact same instructions as mentioned on the pack. During the cooking process, the strawberry aroma that was released was not pleasing and it was a lot synthetic.
We observed the following points while the ice cream was set. As the ice cream was set, the first thing that caught our eyes was the color of the strawberry ice cream. It looked delightful and vibrant.

Our Top Picks & Recommendations
The two variants that we reviewed from the Weikfield Freeze Ice Cream Mixes, we found the strawberry flavor to have a better taste compared to the butterscotch flavor. Appearance wise both the flavours looked good.
However, when it came to the texture, none of the flavors impressed us. Both of them were over-sweetened and lacked freshness.
Any packaged ice cream mix is a hit if it provides an easy cooking experience and tastes rich and creamy at the same time.
