"Thaw" frozen product to 27F

JD_19616

Hello ChefSteppers,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with a somewhat unorthodox request. Basically, I need to "thaw" a frozen product to approximately 27F as quickly and evenly as possible. I've seen even-thaw refrigeration systems that claim to do just this, however their suggested temperature range is 37-41F. I suppose a freezer set to 27F would do the trick but was wondering if anyone might know of another approach.

Thank you!

What temp is the product that you want to get to 27 and how long does it need to stay that way? I am truly curious as to what kind of application you need this technique for.

I'm basically making soft serve ice cream with very little sugar and therefore very little freezing point depression. The consistency isn't quite right at the typical serving temperature of around 22F so I need to serve it at 27F. I've run a few tests and I like the texture at this temp but it's proving challenging to do on a larger scale.

Thanks for your responses!
