Some people use stearic acid for a thickener, but I don't. Some people use cetyl alcohol to thicken. If you want to list your recipe, then maybe we can help.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 You can also use steric acid for this as well.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 I've used guar gum in place of xanthan and it seemed to work with no problems.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Xanthan gum - is this powder or a liquid? I had the Recipe to make strawberry ice cream and this was in the Recipe. 2C berries, 2tsp. stevia, 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum, 2 tbsp. Agave, 4 tsp. Lemon juice and 3 tsp water. I found the Xanthan gum at a store $13.00 for a 1/2 lb. bag. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 That's frozen fruit. I didn't use lemon juice or water but I used about 1/4 cup of cream, 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan gum (it's a powder) sugar ... I think I probably used several T because we like our ice cream sweet. Then pound the day lights out of the frozen fruit being sure you do all four corners until you think the VM is going to fly apart. It changes sounds when it's all done. It sounds like gears thumping...bumping....it's hard to describe but you have to go by sound since its not liquid enough to be that clover leaf shape. I've given this recipe/technique to three friends and they have all been amazed. Ivete took hers to her brother's house to make the ice cream for his kids and her brother wouldn't let Ivete take the VitaMix home, pleading with her to leave it with him for just one week. <g> I'd say I've made a few sales for you Lea Ann with this recipe. Now all I have to do us convince them to call or email you. I'm doing my best.
