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.

The summer solstice ☀️ inspired me to make a pint using only ✨fruit✨. Super simple ingredients, natural sugars, zero fat, and very refreshing! The taste was definitely fruity but a bit flat.

The Good (what went well):

The CREAMi injects air: I was worried that the texture would be too slushy since the frozen pint looked like a solid block of ice. However, the final texture was creamy and fluffy.
Super easy recipe: Only two ingredients and no blending!

The Bad (lessons learned):

The flavour was a bit flat: Honestly, this one is a bit of a stretch. Real fruits can only do so much. Next time, add in mango chunks for a more intense flavour and reduce the juice volume.

Taste	Macros	Ease
★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★☆☆☆

Recipe

Ingredients for a 24-oz pint:

Sweet corn kernels (2 cups / cut from ~2 cobs)
Butter, unsalted (1 ⅓ tbsp)
Salt (⅜ tsp)
Cinnamon (2 tsp)
Milk, 0% fat, ultra-filtered (1 ⅔ cups)
Egg yolk (2 yolks)
Monkfruit sweetner with allulose (¼ cup)
Xanthan gum (¼ tsp)
Lemon juice (1 tbsp)
Vanilla extract, pure (1 tsp)

Instructions:

For fresh sweet corn, slice the kernels off the cobs and scrap the cob to collect the “corn milk”.
Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat until foaming.
Add the sweet corn kernels, scrapings, salt, and cinnamon. Saute for 5 minutes.
Pour in the milk and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat.
Remove the mixture from heat. Add egg yolks, sweetner, and xanthan gum. Blend until smooth.
Bring the mixture back onto low heat. Stir contantly while scraping the bottom until the mixture thickens.
Remove the mixture from heat. Add in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to mix.
Freeze for 24 hours.
Spin on ICE CREAM (push down and re-spin if needed).

This flavour combination was a fun surprise, it tastes a little like Cinnamon Toast Crunch X Frosted Flakes. While I enjoyed the warmth of this pint, I think I preferred the previous version of this recipe that was more pudding-like and had a strong corn aroma.

The Good (what went well):

A little extra lemon juice: Trust the process! Right after I added a whole tablespoon of lemon juice, I thought I seriously messed up. The acidity overpowered everything! However, flavours change when they freeze and the final product was perfectly bright and balanced.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Cinnamon overpowered corn: For the cinnamon lovers, this might not even be a bad thing. But, my vision for this recipe was corn-focused, and this one was just too cinnamon-y.
Icy texture: Bring back the tofu, don’t skimp on the butter.

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).

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.

E1.1 Summer in Provence

Taste	Macros	Ease
★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★☆☆☆

Recipe

Ingredients for a 24-oz pint:

Pear, D’Anjou, diced (2 pears)
Dates, pitted and diced (3 dates)
Applesauce (½ cup)
Honey (1 ½ tbsp)
Salt (pinch)
Fish sauce (½ tbsp)
Balsamic vinegar (1 tbsp)

Lemon juice (1 tbsp)
Fig fruit spread (1 tbsp)
Mixed nuts, crushed (20 g)

Instructions:

Cook the pear, dates, applesauce, honey, and salt on low heat until the pears are soft and the liquid has reduced (the mixture should be jammy)
Add in the fish sauce and balsamic vinegar to the fruit mixture, continue simmering on low until the sauces have reduced (taste test: the acidity and fishiness should mellow out, and turn into a salted-caramel-like flavour)
Remove the mixture from the heat, add and melt the brie
Once the mixture has fully cooled, add in the milk and lemon juice
Blend until smooth
Freeze for 24 hours
Spin on LITE ICE CREAM
Add in fig fruit spread and nuts, spin on MIX-IN

Inspired by classic charcuterie arrangements (minus the cured meats), this recipe combines subtle sweetness from the fruits with rich earthiness from the brie. And also…fish sauce!? It might seem strange at first but the salt and umami works wonderfully as a flavour bridge.

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

The Good (what went well):

Floral aroma: Honey adds a floral element that’s not found in other sweetners.
Layered flavours: Salt suppresses bitterness, amplifies sweet and umami, and balances sourness. A pinch of salt can tie different flavour profiles together.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Funky smell and aftertaste: Go easy on the cheese, sometimes less really is more.
Gritty texture: Peel and strain the pear. Use flavour concentrates.

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.
