  4. 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.
  5. Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run Lite Ice Cream.
  6. Expect it to look powdery after the first spin. That is normal for protein ice cream.
  7. If it looks crumbly or powdery, add 15 ml unsweetened soya drink1 tbsp unsweetened soya drink1 tbsp unsweetened soy milk25 ml unsweetened soya drink1½ tbsp unsweetened soya drink1½ tbsp unsweetened soy milk and run Re-spin.
  8. Still powdery? Add another splash of soy milk and Re-spin once more.

To serve: Top with chopped roasted peanuts.

My notes

Tips

  • Soy milk has the most protein and spins creamiest. Unsweetened oat or almond milk works too, with a little less protein. Oat drinks usually contain gluten, and almond milk is a tree nut.
  • Plant protein powders vary in taste. Pea protein can taste earthy, so a vanilla-flavored blend works best. Taste the base and add more sweetener if needed.
  • 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.

Why it works

Peanut butter brings fat and flavor, and soy milk and plant protein add protein that binds water. Xanthan gum holds it all together, so the dairy-free base spins smooth instead of icy.
