    I've been thinking about seeing what would happen if I put a protein shake in my ice cream maker. Thanks for doing the research and saving me the frustration! I'm going to hunt down the ingredients and try it myself this weekend!

    Interesting perspective, because I guess that's basically what Halo Top is...I could whip up a batch of my favorite protein shake, and throw in the ice cream maker...sans sugar alcohol which causes me issues.

    That looks like entirely way to much work and cost. rather just buy the Halo Top.

    Not everyone can buy Halo Top though. Plus if I can make something half decent then I'd be happy that i learnt something new and going forward can adapt it as I experiment.

    Thanks so much for this recipe! It's WONDERFUL!

    I started with the original recipe and it was PERFECT (except for me messing up and putting in too much xantham gum, totally my mistake). Only made a couple mods to use what I had on hand. Fairlife 2% milk instead of regular 2% milk and a little extra sweetener & vanilla because I used an unflavored protein powder (MyProtein Smooth Milk Protein Conentrate).

    I did start playing around with the recipe for the second batch to figure out how low cal I could go and found that the 2% milk is a must. I tried subbing half almond milk in a coffee flavored version and it tasted was great out of the churn but turned very hard after storing in the freezer. (Noting a few minutes on the counter won't fix).

    Can't wait to play around with more variations!

    Man I wish, I can't eat Halo Top or anything with sugar alcohols like Erythritol in them. They make me super bloated and um...well it gives me the runs. Unless I'm only going to eat a couple of spoon fulls...and then what's the point of Halo Top then, LOL? I guess my gut bugs just go into a frenzy when they get that stuff, which happens to some people. The whole FODMAPs thing, although I am fine with FODMAP foods like onions, garlic, everything else I think the sugar alcohols are just too much.
    But that's awesome because that stuff is WAY overpriced and if I was not sensitive I would eat it every day! Enjoy!

    I feel your pain and have exactly the same problem. My intenstines are convinced that Erythritol is the devil

    The milk, eliminated the sugar because it seems unnecessary given 16g of erythritol, played around with the ratio of glycerin and vitafiber, used 30g of whey (Dymatize Iso 100) instead of 15. Cookie dough mix in is a softened and rolled Kirkland protein bar with 15g of strawberries and 15g of blackberries.

    Oh man! And I got rid of my ice cream maker! I think I'm going to have to buy another one. I spend wayyyy too much money on Halo Top. And my neighborhood grocery store never has my favorite flavor.

    The ingredient I'm missing is the patience to even attempt this recipe. I'm no cook.
    I'll spend the 5 bucks a pint. Halo Top is only mediocre in my opinion so by the time I load it with
    another 50 calories of Hershey syrup it's no longer a super low treat
