Creative ideas with freeze-dried fruit powder

How to use freeze-dried fruit powder?

Start by defining the desired effect: flavoring the entire preparation, creating a natural color, adding a dry finish, or producing a contrast between two parts of the same recipe. The type of fruit, the fineness of the powder, and the amount of liquid already present will influence the final dosage.

Incorporation

Sift the powder and mix it first with the dry ingredients or a small portion of the preparation to obtain an even dispersion.

Gradual dosage

Add the powder gradually. Strawberry, haskap berry, raspberry or cranberry do not produce the same intensity in equal quantities.

Validation

Test a small batch before production. Cooking, pH, fat content, and base color can all affect the perceived result.
