Tips & Tricks
- Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain texture.
- Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly.
- Place the pint on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle.
- If the ice cream is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
- Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run under hot water for 30 seconds before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
- If a dome forms on top while freezing, try freezing without the lid or scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
- If you’re looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make this recipe even higher in protein?
Use Premier Protein shakes or Fairlife milk instead of regular milk or cream. You can also mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder before freezing! Try different protein shake flavors, such as chocolate or vanilla.
When should I use regular mode vs. lite mode?
Regular mode is for higher-fat recipes with a cream base, while Lite mode works best for lower-fat treats like sorbets and protein-based ice creams.
Can I add different mix-ins?
Of course! Add crushed cookies, peanut butter cups, or even extra chocolate chips to switch up the flavors.
How should I store leftovers?
Flatten the top before refreezing in the pint or an airtight container. If it hardens too much, reprocess it using the same mode you originally used. To prevent ice crystals, press parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing and freezing.
This Loaded S’mores Ice Cream is a must-try summer treat that brings all the cozy flavors of a campfire classic into a cool, creamy delight. Give it a spin in your Ninja Creami and enjoy!
