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.

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.

Inspired by black sesame glutinuous rice balls (tangyuan), this recipe went heavy on the sesame taste and aroma. The tofu was added for body but it really didn’t work with the nutty flavour profile. I am a huge fan of sesame and will definitely try this one again.

The Good (what went well):

Rich sesame aroma: Sesame oil was a great touch.

The Bad (lessons learned):

The texture was gummy: The xanthan gum was too much. This recipe probably doesn’t need it.
Too beany and not enough nutty: Tofu synergizes with grassy and starchy foods (e.g., corn, sweet potato, red bean) and not so much with roasted and fermented foods (e.g., sesame, coffee, caramel). In an attempt to boost the nuttiness with almond extract, I went a little overboard with it and the aftertaste became slightly bitter. No tofu or almond extract next time.
The acidity was too bright: Lemon juice is quite powerful. Use something more subtle like rice vinegar.
