The Twist product is confirmed as a 1.5kg bag, but the number of bags included in the quoted $135 package has not been established. Its price per kilogram is therefore excluded.

Made With Real Full Cream Milk Powder
At Fun Foods Direct, we believe great soft serve starts with carefully selected ingredients.
Our vanilla soft serve mixes are formulated using 100% real full cream milk powder as their milk powder ingredient, together with other carefully selected ingredients to deliver a smooth, creamy texture and consistent flavour.
Both Luxury Whip and Whip N Dream are Australian-made and designed for commercial soft serve machines as well as compatible home frozen dessert machines.
What Makes a Quality Soft Serve Mix?
- Milk ingredients: The type and proportion of dairy ingredients can influence flavour, creaminess and texture.
- Consistency: A properly formulated mix should produce consistent results when prepared and frozen according to instructions.
- Flavour: Vanilla profiles vary from classic and familiar to rich French vanilla.
- Preparation: Consider the mixing ratio and the quantity of prepared mix produced.
- Commercial Value: Compare powder cost, preparation requirements, serving yield and operating expenses.
Our goal is to provide commercial-quality soft serve mixes at competitive prices without compromising our focus on ingredient selection and flavour.
Easy Preparation for Commercial Soft Serve Machines
Both Luxury Whip and Whip N Dream are simple to prepare.
Add 3.5 litres of cold water to a clean food-grade mixing container. Gradually add one 1.5kg bag of soft serve powder while mixing.

Always follow the preparation instructions and operating requirements for your specific machine.
