Great for homemade ice cream making

Hmmm I think I haven't found the exact right use for xantham gum...it is sort of slimy when used for thickening sauces. I made gravy and an asian inspired soy ginger sauce and both had a slick slimy quality, which wasn't bad and didn't affect the taste at all. But when you are making a gf sauce or baked good...it's not going to be the same as wheat. I have not tried it in baked goods yet but I see it is an ingredient in many a gf flour...so the experimentation will continue. I'm definitely not kicking it out of the kitchen but I just haven't found the exact method or recipe for it yet.

Finally I can make my smoothies more drinkable without being too cold from frozen fruit. I like the thickness of a malt instead of a shake, and a teaspoon to 2 cups of almond milk does it.

The absolute secret to delicious frozen drinks. I mix this stuff at 5% to 95% sugar, powderize it in a processor, and add ⅛ tsp per 16 oz of frozen drink. Margaritas that are still icy after an hour. I had a frappe get so cold it frosted the mug it was in. I feel that if The Pit freezes over this xanthum gum will be involved. At my current use rate it may be a lifetime supply, but if I do pick up more I'll for sure update.

I use this for light ice cream making on my Ninja Creami and it works great! Note: some trial and error was needed to get the correct combo - with help from Ninja Creami recipes and online suggestions. Also, the best consistency comes by mixing with an electric hand mixer (with highest quality achieved by adding a good protein powder).
