Pour the milk, half and half, strawberries, allulose, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, and guar gum into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Process the Ice Cream
After 24 hours, remove the Ninja Creami container from the freezer. If there is a large bump in the ice cream, melt or scrape the large bump so that the top is level.
Place the Ninja Creami container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If you want the texture to be thick and scoopable, you likely won't need a respin. But, if you want the texture to be more like soft serve, pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and respin. The more milk you add, the softer the texture will be.
Notes
Should strawberry whip be thick and scoopable or more like soft-serve?
My goal was to make this recipe softer, more like the Dole whip that everyone loves, only strawberry flavored. So, the ice cream should be more like a soft-serve texture. If you prefer a thicker, more scoopable texture, don’t add liquid when re-spinning. For a soft and almost fluffy texture, re-spin a few times, adding liquid on each re-spin.
Can lime juice be used instead of lemon juice?
Since the recipe calls for such a small amount of lemon juice, lime juice can be used instead without it being very noticeable. You can use fresh or bottled lemon or lime juice.
Can frozen strawberries be used instead of fresh?
Yes, just be sure to thaw them for a little while before adding to the blender with the other base ingredients. If you don’t thaw the strawberries, they will be harder to fully incorporate with the other ingredients.
