Observations
How do you achieve a perfectly smooth texture for this whey protein ice cream?
For a smooth texture, it's essential to freeze the banana pieces for at least 2 hours before blending, then blend long enough with the whey and milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
Can I use a protein other than chocolate whey in this recipe?
Yes, you can replace the chocolate whey with another flavor or type of protein powder, but this may slightly alter the taste and final texture of the ice cream.
How important is the choice of milk in this recipe?
Milk, whether animal or plant-based, adds creaminess and helps to blend the preparation. The choice of milk can influence flavor and consistency, for example, almond milk will give a softer, lighter touch.
Can I make this ice cream in advance and store it in the freezer?
Yes, once you've blended the ice cream, you can store it in a small jar in the freezer and enjoy it later. Remember to take it out a few minutes beforehand to make it easier to eat.
Why add chocolate chips, and are they essential?
Chocolate chips are optional and add a crunchy, gourmet contrast to the ice cream. They're not essential, but they add an extra touch of pleasure. You can also add nuts such as roasted hazelnuts or peanuts.
Warning: remember to check the scoop content of your whey. The scoops usually supplied with whey are 1 oz/30 gr in size.
The capacity of the scoop supplied with your whey is indicated on the packet.
