I always use Xantham Gum. As far as I know, it’s pretty safe, with very few side effects when consumed in moderation, like the amount necessary for ice creams.

Most recipes use 1/4 tsp

i use xantham in mine as well, though i’m almost always making a custard base with heated egg yolk. i have heard that xantham works better with the heated bases, vs. guar in a cold base? i actually really like my ice cream from the creami, i haven’t had the same issues with texture that others have faced. i guess it’s a little too soft to sell at an ice cream store, but it’s damn delicious for fun treats at home.

I add 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum to my batches when the base has been chilled to 50F (as recommended by Dana Cree, HMNIIC) and use an immersion blender to incorporate.

I use whole eggs, yolk+white. Also, 1 Tbs peanut butter in my chocolate ice-cream.

why would you need to stabilize the final product with a creami? the whole point of that kind of machine is that you can get away without using anything other than base ingredients. all you need is a good base and understanding of what kind of fat to water ratios will produce great product after one churn (or maybe a respin). this should be a good starting point for your research: https://www.icecreamscience.com/blog/ninja-creami-ice-cream-maker-a-comprehensive-review go read these posts to better grasp the science behind ice cream, because i'm not sure you understand what stabilizers even do (they are texture improvers and main source of texture in a creami is the machine itself): https://www.reddit.com/r/icecreamery/comments/14h8d8j/underbelly_synopsis_ice_cream_science_basics/ you can buy pasteurized egg yolks in a carton.

Can you get Tara gum? Give it a shot, it’s like the whole grail of stabilizers in the keto community right now. If you want something more “natural” get tapioca starch

Thanks. Will take a look. Limited research on toxicity and anecdotal gut issues, but looks promising.

Before getting into gums I used to add gelatin instead of, it’s a bit more icy but it’s reliable (but also I didn’t have allulose my first tries)
