Reflections
Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆
The very very first pint! I love a good fruit smoothie and thought that I could test out the “Creamify Technology” by churning a frozen smoothie into ice cream. Turns out, it’s not quite a 1:1 translation.
The Good (what went well):
- The texture was really smooth and creamy: Make sure the pint is fully frozen and push down the ice before re-spinning.
The Bad (lessons learned):
- The taste was very bland: Add more sugar and fat.
- There was a slightly bitter after-taste: The bromelain inside pineapples breaks down milk proteins into bitter peptides. Either cook the pineapples, use canned pineapples, or use milk-alternatives.
- No blueberry flavour: Yeah, that’s my bad. I just really like blueberries, but it’s really an odd ingredient in pina colada. Save the blueberries for smoothies.
