Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Absolutely WOW! It’s refreshing, satiating, and oh so satisfying! We won’t look at the macros for this one—it’s a well deserved treat.

The Good (what went well):

Load up the mangoes: The tropical mango flavour really came through! About half the pint was filled with mangoes before blending.
Salt is the bridge: This recipe calls for A LOT of salt! Don’t be afraid! It really ties the entire flavour together.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Slightly icy texture: The only thing missing from this pint is that incredibly smooth and creamy texture. Perhaps simmering the mango puree would reduce the water bound by fruit fibers.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Summer is the season of fresh fruits and lychees are one of my all time favourites! The combination of the bergamot in Earl Grey and the fresh florals in lychee is such a bubble tea classic. IYKYK! Another one for Celine’s Choice.

The Good (what went well):

Layers of flavour: The bright florals of the lychee hits strong upfront, followed by the deeper and richer Earl Grey tea. Steeping the tea was definitely worth the effort!

The Bad (lessons learned):

Icy texture: There’s not enough body in this recipe. Lychees are mostly water and there’s just not a lot of substance holding it together. Add more fat or stabilizers next time.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Going back to the basics here. I felt like I was getting too fancy with these protein recipes when they should be easy staples with simple flavours. Re-introducing… a creamy, delicious, and protein-packed pint with chocolate, banana, and peanut butter. My favourite iteration yet!

The Good (what went well):

Creamy and sweet: The two ripe bananas really did the heavy lifting here for that natural sweetness and creamy texture.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Hard to blend: There was a lot going on in that small container. A smooth blend requires patience and constantly scraping the container sides to fully incorporate every ingredient.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Pistachio might be one of my favourite ice cream / gelato flavours. This one was also inspired by the delicious layer of creamy cheese foam that you might find in bubble teas. This was delicious, silky, and Mum Approved. I enjoyed it but I also have very high standards for pistachio.

The Good (what went well):

Good texture and protein: Cottage cheese is already a powerfood in itself! It provides great macros (relatively low calories and high protein) and structure for a silky smooth base.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Chunky nuts: The pistachios stayed strong through the MIX-IN spin cycle and stayed mostly in tact. For a more evenly distributed flavour and smoother texture, the pistachios could be lightly crushed beforehand or blended into the mixture.

Remove the ginger and let the mixture cool.
Add in 15 g of grated fresh ginger, silken tofu, miso, and sweetner. Blend until smooth.

Optional: Saute 15 g of sliced ginger in water and sweetner. Add in the candied ginger and spin on MIX-IN.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Brown sugar ginger tofu pudding (douhua) is a beloved traditional Chinese dessert. Add in some jujube dates, and you’ve got a legendary Traditional Chinese Medicine trio. It’s warm, sharp, sweet, and definitely making Celine’s Choice. The silken tofu and soy milk provides a rich base and great macros. Mum tried it and she liked it.

The Good (what went well):

The flavour’s got layers: There’s an immediate floral sweetness from the jujube dates and brown sugar, followed by a deeper savoury warmth from the white miso. Finally, the ginger kicks in at the end.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Refreeze before mix-ins: This pint was quite soft and melted quickly after the first spin. Briefly refreezing the pint with the candied ginger before spinning on mix-ins helped to keep a creamier texture.

Back again with another chocolate protein ice cream! This time I skipped the greek yogurt, upped the protein by 50%, and upped both the peanut butter and cocoa powders. The taste was pretty good but the texture was… powdery (go figure)!

The Good (what went well):

Amazing macros: Yay for extra protein and relatively low calories.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Chalky texture: The texture was a bit rough and not creamy enough. Perhaps there’s too much protein.
Skip the carmelization: Air-fried bananas are delicious but the flavour didn’t come through.
Blending makes a lot of bubbles and a bump in the center of the pint after freezing: Tap the pint to release the bubbles, let the mixture cool in the fridge before freezing, and check on the pint after freezing for some time and flatten any bumps while it’s still malleable (~6 hrs).

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Wow, I’m genuinely impressed by how the flavours came together! I wanted to get a little fancy with the fresh strawberries and lime zest, and it was definitely worth the effort. Fragrant, fresh, sweet, tangy, and rich, this pint perfectly captures the essence of a decadent slice of cheesecake. First recipe to make Celine’s Choice!

The Good (what went well):

Fresh strawberries are so good: In general, fresh fruits are a great way to add volume, flavour, and fiber into an icy dessert.
Cheesecake flavour did not taste artifical: The secret was pure vanilla extract!
The lime zest was worth the effort: For the citrus lovers, a sprinkle of zest on top delivers a fresh aroma and a pop of contrast that cuts through the richness of the cream.

The Bad (lessons learned):

The Lotus Biscoff cookies were pulverized: Manually mix into the ice cream to get bit sized pieces.
The yogurt flavour was noticeable: Did not successfully trick my brain into believing that Greek yogurt was the next cream cheese. Use cream cheese for a more authentic cheesecake flavour.

Version II of this classic combination. Pistachio instant pudding mix was added for extra flavour and texture. I ran out of 0% ultra-filtered milk and used whole milk instead, which made the ice cream a bit creamier so that was nice. Then I thought to add Greek yogurt to increase the solids volume and protein, but the flavours just didn’t work well together this time.

The Good (what went well):

Rich nutty taste and smoother texture: The pistachio instant pudding mix masks the protein powder taste and helps to create a silky smooth texture.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Slight sour taste: This was probably the Greek yogurt. The strong acidity does not pair well with chocolate.
The ice cream melted way too fast: In an effort to make the creamiest pint, I may have flown too close to the sun. There are a few reasons for this: too much salt, too much sugar, and low fat content.

What is more satisfying than hitting your protein goals in the form of ice cream? This recipe is one of my favourite flavour combinations: chocolate, peanut butter, and banana. Despite a strong protein powder taste, this pint was very delicious.

The Good (what went well):

The final texture was creamy: Despite what the instructions say, if the first spin is too powdery, then re-spinning before mix-ins help to create a smoother texture.
The nuts were evenly incorporated: Make a well for the mix-ins.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Protein powder aftertaste: Add in stronger flavours (e.g. sweetner, cocoa, peanut butter) to mask the taste.
The powders stuck to the bottom of the pint: Pour in some liquids before powder.
