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.
  • Want it sweeter? Add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit. They add sweetness without changing the texture.
  • For bigger specks, use the seeds of half a vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste.

Why it works

Allulose lowers the freezing point the way sugar does, so the tubpint spins creamy with no added sugar. Cream cheese adds body and keeps ice crystals small.
