Notes

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.
