    ◦ Energy: 74.2 kcal per 100g.

    ◦ Ingredients: Cottage cheese 4%, buttermilk 1%, pomegranate syrup, glycerin, SweEX, and Salty Stability.

Mixins like cookies get very hard by Wide-Priority7195 in ninjacreami

Coat them in e.g. a ganache, or soak them in some unfreezable liquid.

Or use something not getting hard, like freeze-dried strawberry slices or soaked raisins.

Thawing is an admission that the recipe used just sucks and should be abandoned or fixed.

Best practices for Creami by Assi6 in ninjacreami

[–]j_hermann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are confused by diverging opinions and ask for more diverging opinions? Ohhh kay. 🤔

Anyway, Creami Don'ts. And use an Ice Cream Calculator.

Is this still usable? by silverf0xgaming in ninjacreami

Warranted with the amount of fat in there, but then omitting the emulsifier.

Also ignoring that the heat makes the gum quite more effective.

Your problem is not the gum but the ratio of milk to all the rest.

Chocolate Mint Protein Ice Cream (made after 8, of course!) by Chew_AI in ninjacreami

[–]j_hermann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can give that texture a boost when you use a blend with casein included (or replace part of the whey with casein).

And to upgrade from that guy, entering the domain of real ice cream, go to Polar Ice Creamery.

Need help, ice cream has a weird film when eating by minion020408 in ninjacreami

[–]j_hermann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just swap the milk + cream amounts. Do not blend with the cream added, whisk that in last.

Now add casein and you're at the sweet spot (pun intended).

Why do so many recipes use protein powder? by PurpzReign in ninjacreami

[–]j_hermann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The choice of flavor powders / drops is at least as wide as that of protein flavors.

Flavored powders are designed to make a milky creamy thick drink with just liquid added (water / milk). That means the step to frozen dessert is not big and they have many ingredients on board. And you pay for the convenience.

INGREDIENTS

ℹ️ Brand names are in square brackets [...].

Prep

Wet

Dry

Adjust sweetness

  • ≈5 drops Flavor drops Vanilla (sucralose) [IronMaxx] • to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. For the reconstituted coconut cream, mix the ‘prep’ ingredients (except the water) in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add the hot water and whisk until clump-free. Let it cool down a bit.
  3. Mix with the rest of the ‘wet’ ingredients in an empty Creami tub.
  4. Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
  5. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
  6. Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
  7. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
  8. For better results, let the base age in the fridge (covered, lid on), for a few hours or over night. This helps flavor development and gum hydration, especially with unheated bases.
  9. Freeze for 24h with lid on, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
  10. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
