Sephra Freeze Dried Blackberries 1kg

Sephra Freeze Dried Scottish Blackberries

This 1kg pack of Sephra Freeze Dried Scottish Blackberries is made for busy bakeries, chocolatiers and dessert businesses using berry ingredients regularly. The crisp whole fruit can be used across chocolate, cheesecakes, cakes, breakfast dishes and plated desserts, with enough product for larger batches and repeated menu use.

Pair Blackberry with Chocolate, Vanilla and Citrus

The rich, slightly sharp flavour of blackberry works particularly well with dark chocolate, creating a bold combination for bars, bark, truffles and plated desserts. Milk chocolate gives a sweeter finish, while white chocolate provides plenty of contrast against the fruit’s deep purple colour.

For cakes and desserts, try blackberry with vanilla, lemon, apple, caramel or biscuit crumb. It also works well with creamy flavours such as cheesecake, yoghurt, panna cotta and ice cream, where the berry flavour helps balance the sweetness.

Use Them Whole, Crushed or Rehydrated

Keep the blackberries whole when you want a visible fruit topping on cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, porridge, yoghurt or ice cream. Add them to chocolate bars and bark, or combine them with granola and cereal for extra crunch and natural fruit flavour.

For smaller pieces, gently break or crush the berries before use. They can also be blitzed into blackberry powder and mixed into buttercream, icing, glaze, meringue or chocolate fillings. The powder adds flavour and colour without introducing the same amount of liquid as fresh blackberry purée.

When a softer texture is required, soak the berries in water before use. Cold water helps them retain more of their shape, while warmer water works well for sauces, fillings and compotes where a softer result is preferred.

Create Colourful Cakes and Dessert Specials

Use the whole berries to finish white chocolate cheesecakes, lemon cupcakes, pavlovas or vanilla desserts. Crush them over ice cream sundaes, milkshakes and waffles, or mix blackberry powder into buttercream for a naturally coloured cake filling or topping.

For seasonal ideas, combine blackberry with apple and cinnamon for crumble-style desserts, or pair it with dark chocolate and caramel for a richer menu special. The fruit can also be mixed with other freeze dried berries for colourful chocolate bars, cereal blends and dessert decorations.

Real Scottish Fruit Without the Fresh-Berry Waste

Fresh blackberries are delicate and can soften, leak or spoil quickly once opened. Freeze dried blackberries let you measure out only the amount required while keeping the remaining fruit available for another batch.

This makes them useful for lower-volume toppings, occasional specials and decorations where keeping a regular supply of fresh berries may lead to waste. There is also no washing, draining or preparation needed before use.

---

Crunchy from the Pack, Softer with Moisture

Straight from the pack, the blackberries have a light, crisp texture. When placed in contact with cream, yoghurt, buttercream, sauce or other moist ingredients, they will gradually absorb moisture and soften.

Add them shortly before serving when you want to retain the crunch. Allow more contact time where a softer berry texture is preferred in fillings, overnight oats or chilled desserts.

---

Protect the Berries from Humidity

Freeze dried blackberries absorb moisture quickly, so securely close the packaging after each use. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from steam, sinks and open containers.

The whole berries are naturally delicate and may break if handled roughly. Store them carefully or transfer the remaining fruit to an airtight container to help protect both their texture and shape.
