ICMI Academy

You don't need to know how to make gelato. That's the point.

Training

Free, in person, with your hands on the machine.

Half the people who call us have never made gelato. We'd rather teach you than sell you a bucket and wish you luck — a customer who can't make the product doesn't reorder it.

A room with a batch freezer, a scale, a whiteboard and an ICMI instructor. You write the recipe, you weigh, you run the machine, you taste what came out, and you do it again until it's right.

It costs nothing. There is no catch and no minimum order attached to it.

A day in the room

Three things happen, in this order.

  1. 01

    The recipe goes on the board

    Before anything is switched on, the formula is written out — what goes in, in what proportion, and why. You leave with the numbers, not with a feeling.

  2. 02

    Your hands go on the machine

    You work the batch freezer yourself, with the scale and the buckets on the bench next to you. Watching someone else do it is not the same thing and we don't pretend it is.

  3. 03

    You do it again without us

    The point isn't the class. The point is the Tuesday three weeks later, when you run it on your own and it comes out the same.

A batch freezer, a soft serve machine, or nothing yet — the answer changes what we teach you first.
