General Mills Foodservice introduces Pillsbury™ Thaw & Serve
Brownie Sheets, a convenient, low-labor solution to help operations
turn out decadent desserts with fudgy, scratch-like quality.
Available in full or half-sheet options, the no-bake brownies can
be served as a standalone treat or customized for a variety of
other desserts.
Pillsbury Thaw & Serve Brownie Sheets help foodservice operations
meet growing consumer demand for indulgent desserts
yet require minimal labor. Fifty-three percent of consumers enjoyed
dessert the past day and 60% of operators reported that
desserts help drive profits, which is why they are such an important
and treasured part of daily menus.
" The new Pillsbury
brownie sheets
give operations a way
to streamline prep and
offer a consistent foundation
for several desserts, " says
Chef Gilles Stassart, a member of Chefs of the Mills. " The brownies
come ready-to-serve and are great plain or topped with ice
cream, but they also offer endless opportunities to create elevated
desserts by using different toppings, cutting into shapes
or packaging as a grab-and-go option. "
He adds that the pre-baked brownies come in uncut sheets
which make them a versatile option for restaurants, cafeterias,
catering and coffee shops to use in different ways to accommodate
their menus. A parchment-lined trap also allows easy
removal and serving.
" We know desserts can be a challenge for operations that are
understaffed or don't have pastry chefs, so our team is always
looking for ways to help them serve scratch-like or semi-scratch
desserts with ease, " says Chef Stassart. " The consistently rich
chocolate flavor and fudgy texture of these brownies offer a
perfect balance of quality and pre-made convenience. "
The Pillsbury Thaw & Serve Brownie Sheets were developed
with a proprietary process backed by rigorous testing from the
culinary experts at General Mills. They are the latest in a long
history of innovation from Pillsbury, the premier baking brand
that foodservice professionals rely on to maximize their backof-house
labor and turn out premium, great-tasting baked
goods. Other recent innovations include Freezer-to-Oven
Croissants, in classic butter and chocolate-swirled flavors, and
the introduction of Pillsbury's newly improved Southern Style
Unbaked Biscuits.
In addition, General Mills Foodservice offers individuallywrapped
Pillsbury Thaw & Serve Molten Brownies to help foodservice
operations offer an individually-portioned dessert.
To help operations make the most of brownies across their
menus, General Mills Foodservice has created several resources
including recipes, merchandising and display ideas and more on
its website. Check out the Formula section of this issue to learn
recipe ideas.
