ENHANCE YOUR DESSERTS WITH CHEESE POWDER

Lactosan’s Cheese Powder is the secret ingredient behind a wide range of delicious desserts. Popular choices like cheesecakes and tiramisu often feature Cheese Powder to deliver a rich, indulgent flavour—while also supporting functional benefits such as cleaner labelling.

Cheese Powder can also elevate many other dessert applications. Use it to create a signature cheese note, enhance complementary flavours, or improve texture and mouthfeel. Whether you're developing a classic recipe or innovating something new, Lactosan Cheese Powder helps you stand out.

A Broad Range of Dessert Applications with Lactosan Cheese Powder

At Lactosan, we bring decades of expertise to the development of Cheese Powders tailored for dessert innovation. Our Cheese Powders contain naturally occurring milk proteins with excellent emulsifying properties—crucial for achieving the desired consistency, stability, and mouthfeel in dessert applications. They can also help reduce the need for artificial stabilisers or additives, supporting cleaner labelling.

Cheese Powder isn’t just about enhancing cheese notes—it can also amplify other flavours. For example, it can brighten berry flavours in fruit-based desserts, intensify chocolate and vanilla in ice creams, or even help create a rich, creamy caramel profile.

For filled desserts like custard tarts or mini-pies, our Cheese Powders contribute to a smoother, more stable texture and enhanced taste. What’s more, they support marketing claims such as “made with real cheese”, helping you stand out in a competitive marketplace.

Lactosan offers a wide selection of Cheese Powder varieties developed specifically for use in desserts, including provenance cheeses such as Mascarpone, Quark, Cream Cheese, Fromage Frais, and Brunost.
