  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.

To serve: Top with chopped peanuts or a drizzle of warm peanut butter.

Tips

  • Use chocolate protein powder for a peanut butter cup flavor.
  • Add a handful of chopped dark chocolate with the Mix-in program for crunch.
  • Allulose keeps it softest. Where it is not sold, use sugar or another 1:1 granulated sweetener; sugar adds about 25 kcal per serving.

Texture not right? Find the fix in Texture help.

Why it works

Powdered peanut butter is half protein and dissolves into milk, while one spoon of real peanut butter adds back enough fat to keep the texture creamy, not chalky.
