  2. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth, then 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.

To serve: Dust with cinnamon mixed with a pinch of sweetener, like the coating on the cookie.

My notes

Tips

  • Allulose keeps the tubpint softest. Where it is not sold, use another granulated sweetener that measures like sugar and plan on a second Re-spin.
  • For a buttery cookie taste, add a few drops of butter flavoring with the vanilla. Ceylon cinnamon is milder, so use 2 tsp of it.
  • Leftovers: smooth the top flat and refreeze. Let the tubpint stand for 10 minutes, then run Lite Ice Cream again before serving.

Why it works

Greek yogurt gives the slight tang that cream of tartar gives a snickerdoodle, and pudding mix adds a vanilla cookie flavor. Its starch and the protein powder bind water, so the lean base spins smooth.
