- 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. Lean bases often do.
- 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: Top with fresh blueberries.
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.
- Wild blueberries give a deeper purple and a stronger flavor than cultivated ones. Nordic supermarkets sell them frozen.
- Plain Greek yogurt works in place of skyr. Skyr is thicker and has a little more protein.
Why it works
Skyr is very high in protein and almost fat-free, so it binds water and keeps the tubpint creamy for very few calories. Blueberry skins add pectin, which thickens the base.
