Blend with a stick blender until smooth and the espresso has dissolved.
- Let the foam settle for 5 minutes.
- 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. That is normal for protein ice cream.
- If it looks crumbly or powdery, add 15 ml skimmed milk1 tbsp skimmed milk1 tbsp skim milk25 ml skimmed milk1½ tbsp skimmed milk1½ tbsp skim milk and run Re-spin.
- Still powdery? Add another splash of milk and Re-spin once more.

To serve: Serve with a ladyfinger on the side for scooping, or skip it to keep the dessert light and free of gluten, egg and added sugar.
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.
- No mascarpone? Use the same amount of full-fat cream cheese. It is a little tangier and saves a few calories.
- For decaf, use decaf instant espresso. For a stronger coffee taste, add ½ tsp more.
Why it works
Instant espresso gives strong coffee flavor without watering the base down, and a spoon of mascarpone brings the creamy taste of tiramisu. Yogurt, protein powder and pudding mix hold on to water, so the lean base spins smooth.
