Tips

  • Frozen strawberries work. Thaw them first so they blend smoothly.
  • Lemon juice makes the strawberry taste brighter. You will not taste the lemon.
  • For a sugar-free tubpint, use a 1:1 granulated sweetener instead of sugar. Allulose keeps it softest.

Why it works

Strawberries add flavor and natural sugar, and xanthan gum binds their water, so the lean, milky base spins smooth rather than icy.
