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.
  • Use full-fat, unsweetened canned coconut milk and coconut cream. Cream of coconut for cocktails is sweetened, and light coconut milk freezes icy.
  • For a stronger coconut flavor, add ¼ tsp coconut extract. Expect a crumbly first spin: a Re-spin with a splash of coconut milk makes it creamy.

Why it works

Coconut cream and coconut milk bring the fat that makes a dairy-free tubpint creamy, and a little water keeps the fat in the creamy range, so it does not taste heavy or waxy. Allulose lowers the freezing point like sugar does, so it spins soft with no added sugar.
