The Dixie Cup is one of the older things Peters still makes, a small tub of plain vanilla eaten with a flat wooden spoon. Portion and simplicity are the entire proposition. Cream sits at 26%, which is high for a single serve product and higher than the Peters Original tubs carry. With nothing folded through it and no coating over it, there's nowhere for a thin base to hide, so the dairy content is effectively the whole product. Vegetable gums 412, 466 and 407a are guar, cellulose gum and carrageenan, a combination that stops a small volume of ice cream developing ice crystals as it sits. Small formats melt and refreeze more readily than tubs do, which is why they need more stabiliser rather than less.
