  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 1 minute until smooth with no green flecks. 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 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.
  7. Still powdery? Add another splash of milk and Re-spin once more.

Tips

  • Peppermint extracts vary in strength. Add half, taste, then add the rest.
  • The spinach is only there for color. Leave it out for a white mint chip.
  • Allulose keeps the tubpint softest. Where it is not sold, use sugar or another 1:1 granulated sweetener.

Why it works

Peppermint is strong and fat-free, so a little flavors the whole lean base. Mini chips stay small enough to bite easily when frozen.
