Texture Issues

I’ve really liked this machine, and the flavor of the ice cream has been really on point.

However, I’ve been struggling getting the texture to where it needs to be.

Either, the batches have been coming out stringy (similar to the photo) or overly fluffy where it comes out almost like a whip cream.

In either scenario, it is icier than I would prefer.

I believe this is a byproduct of too much stabilizer, but when I use ice cream calculators, it seems to be the appropriate amount.

Here is the recipe that I used to create the batch in the photo:

1 cup 2% Fairlife 1 cup water 50g MyProtein Whey Isolate Salted Caramel 1/2 teaspoon cake batter extract 7g vanilla pudding mix 3 tablespoons Swerve 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon stabilizer (Modernist Pantry - Perfect Ice Cream)
