  2. Blend on low, sprinkle in ¼ tsp xanthan gum¼ tsp xanthan gum¼ tsp xanthan gum¼ tsp xanthan gum¼ tsp xanthan gum¼ tsp xanthan gum, then blend for 30 seconds until smooth. Let the foam settle for 5 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run Lite Ice Cream.
  5. Expect it to look powdery after the first spin. That is normal for protein ice cream.
  6. If it looks crumbly or powdery, add 15 ml skimmed milk1 tbsp skimmed milk1 tbsp skim milk25 ml skimmed milk1½ tbsp skimmed milk1½ tbsp skim milk and run Re-spin.
  7. Still powdery? Add another splash of milk and Re-spin once more.

Tips

  • Use edible, eggless cookie dough. If you make your own, use heat-treated flour; raw flour is not safe to eat.
  • Use a reduced-sugar or protein cookie dough to keep the calories lower.
  • Knead a spoon of protein powder into homemade dough for a few more grams of protein.

Why it works

Brown sugar gives the base a buttery, butterscotch note that tastes like cookie dough. Yogurt and protein powder add enough solids to spin creamy after a Re-spin.
