Ok, so I made my first batch of ice cream and it was delicious.
My friend said he tasted the protein powder in it but I did not at all.
I used Torani butter Rum, vanilla and nuts.
It did taste great but... it made ony a tiny amount (2 scoops, my machine states 2 quarts!)) and my Cuisinart stopped churning at 30 minutes because some of the ice cream was like steel at the bottom.
I realize that the frozen ice cream at the bottom was probably the improvised small bit of half and half I added with my skim milk to try to make it more like 2% (I guess that didn't work).
However what I really don't get is that Eggface recipes call for 1 cup of milk while all other icecream (normal) recipes call foe at least 2 cups of liquid plus other stuff that would create volume (I did froth this with an electric mixer as well and got almost a 4 cup volume).
I mean no wonder I only got 2 scoops
Tomorrow I have a great cheesescake SF/FF pudding mix ( with raspberry Torani ; ) that calls for 2 cups of milk that I would like to use.
What did I do wrong and...
How much milk do you use?

2 scoops of protien for a cup is quite a bit but this might account for something....
If I add another cup you say don't add the protien but I imagine I add a a couple more spoons of the other stuff for taste.
Ok so today I am going in with 2 cups of milk, 4 spoons of cheesescake (sf/ff) pudding mix, raspberry Torani, vanilla protein powder and a few dried chopped cherries in the last 5.
Wish me luck!
I tried again and made...... nothing
I have a big popscicle freezing in my fridge right now.
The cylinder was refrozen for 12 hours.
The icecream didn't fudge even in the slightest (not even slightly at the sides?).
I am thinking my freezer is not cold enough so this time I put the cylinder in the colder fridge freezer. I also used skim milk as someone said that it did not make that big a difference. This almost seemed warmer than when it went in.
AHHHHHHHHHH why do I have so much trouble with this.
I just want ice cream : (
The liquid was added PAINFULLY slow and still it did not fudge at all.
The only thing I can think was that after 12 hours in my big freezer it wasn't cold enough.
I am using the smaller colder fridge freezer tonight and will try again tomprrow.
Your imput is deeply appreiciated as this is distressing me : (
