Wizard Dialog

The Ice Cream Wizard is a recipe generator that you can use to create recipes. You select a flavor and the type of ice cream you like to create. Then you have to select the Milk, Cream and Secondary sugar and for Vegan some more options.

The wizard uses different charts for balancing when generating a recipe.
When the recipe is created and opened in the main dialog you might need to slightly adjust it or re-balance it depending on the Chart you use.

If you are a beginner I recommend you also load all the Online charts before using the Wizard.

The charts used by the wizard are these online charts depending on the flavor and type selected.

Base ingredients

The Wizard will use some base ingredients for most flavors. This is Sucrose (normal sugar), Skim milk powder, Egg yolk (for custard ice cream), Stabilizer and Emulsifier.
The Stabilizer is assumed to be a gum-based stabilizer like Locust bean gum, Guar gum, Tara gum. If you are new to this you can just skip the stabilizer. Read more about stabilizers here.
The emulsifier is by default Lecithin that you can buy as a powder, most people use Soy Lecithin. You can skip this as well but the ice cream will be better if you use it.
