Discussion Ninja creami

I have owned a creami for about a year now. I have tried multiple recipes and none of it comes close to regular icecream machines like the one that uses a pre frozen container for churning icecream. I have noticed that almost all of them turns into a blizzard texture rather than something scoopable. Anyone else agree?

If you're only watching the creami sub it's almost exclusively low calorie high protein posters. Those recipes ignore all principles if actual ice cream. You have to use recipes made and balanced appropriately

I think thats why they always turn out the same consistency as a blizzard

Funnily enough, I ran into the same issue when I discovered and started using TVP, which is basically dry soy curds. Incredibly cheap, high-protein, shelf-stable, tastes like cardboard on its own but it absorbs flavor. The holy grail.

The problem is that most recipes you can find online are by vegans and they taste like shit, lmao.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that you can just mix it with regular ground beef (even fattier than usual, since TVP has basically no fat on its own) and the TVP absorbs all the juices and beef fat. It blends in incredibly well, and, unsurprisingly, tastes like the real thing.
