Soupy consistency with noticeable ice
Hey y’all how’s it going. I’m having trouble getting a creamy texture on this chocolate ice cream I’m trying to make. Recipe is as follows: 400 ml of Kroger brand Carbmaster chocolate milk (low-cal variant of milk with 80 cals / 11g protein per 240 ml), 25g of Monkfruit sweetener, 20g cocoa powder, 30g vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1g xanthum gum.
I blend it all pretty well and stick it in the back of the freezer for around 24 hours with the lid on. Take it out, run it under hot water for around 30-60 seconds. Spin it on Full (ninja creami xl deluxe) on lite ice cream for this result.
I’m getting this really runny texture, even with multiple re-spins. It’s still creamy but imagine ice cream you let sit outside for too long. It’s like a hybrid between actual ice cream and just a cold milkshake.
On top of that, I’m crunching ice with every bite. Granted, they are very small bits, but I don’t think that’s supposed to happen, but it takes away from ice cream and makes it feel like a really unpleasant shaved ice dessert. All of this is incredibly annoying to say the least. Not sure what I’m doing different compared to everybody I see online with super thick products (Eli FPF on tiktok in particular. Good content).
What do y’all think?
