How do you feel about alcohol?

Adding alcohol (ethanol) will reduce the formation of ice crystals, and make the ice cream feel smoother and creamier.

As a bonus, there are a lot of flavors out there. I recommend Irish whiskey for chocolate  or coffee flavored ice creams, for example.


Another useful ingredient, if they work for your flavor, is creamy peanut butter -- if you have a suitable blender, just toss peanuts into it and process until smooth. Mixed into your base, it will add protein chains that bind the fat together.

Finally, low-moisture tofu can work, and is flavor-neutral.
