- Pour the base into an empty tubpint, up to the max fill line. Put the lid on and freeze on a level shelf for 24 hours.
- Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run Lite Ice Cream.
- Expect it to look powdery after the first spin. That is normal for protein ice cream.
- If it looks crumbly or powdery, add 15 ml semi-skimmed milk1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk1 tbsp 2% milk25 ml semi-skimmed milk1½ tbsp semi-skimmed milk1½ tbsp 2% milk and run Re-spin.
- Still powdery? Add another splash of milk and Re-spin once more.
To serve: Drizzle with a little sugar-free caramel syrup.
My notes
Tips
- Allulose keeps a sugar-free tubpint softest. Where it is not sold, use a granulated sweetener that measures like sugar. Erythritol blends freeze harder, so let the tubpint stand for 10 minutes before spinning and plan on a Re-spin.
- For decaf, use decaf cold brew and decaf instant espresso. The texture stays the same.
- Sugar-free caramel syrups differ in strength. Taste the base and add a splash more if you want more caramel than coffee.
Why it works
Cold brew carries the coffee flavor, and a little instant espresso makes it strong without adding more water. Protein powder and yogurt bind that water, and allulose keeps the tubpint soft the way sugar would.
