Base Vegan is a fully plant-based gelato base from PreGel of Italy, built around rice powder and cocoa butter. The formula produces a rich, creamy vegan gelato that holds together more like a traditional dairy scoop than a typical water sorbet.

The fat content from cocoa butter, combined with rice powder, alimentary fibers, and a clean stabilizer-emulsifier package, gives the finished product real body and a smooth mouthfeel that plant-based sorbets often lack. Use it with plant milk for a creamier gelato profile or with water for a lighter scoop. Pair with vegan-suitable flavoring pastes or fruit purees to build a full plant-based menu.

PreGel offers two other plant-based or fruit-focused options. Fruttosa is a simpler fat-free fruit sorbet base that contains a small amount of nonfat milk. Fruttosa Milk Free is the dairy-free version of Fruttosa for plant-based sorbet and soft serve, lighter in body than Base Vegan since it has no added fat.
