SPLIT PLATE SERVING

Adult: Serve the adult portion as described above.

Kid: Serve the kid portion as described above.

Keys to success

  • Freeze upright and level for a full 24 hours.
  • Rest the pint on the counter for 5 minutes before processing.

If something fails

The first spin is powdery: Run Respin without adding liquid, as directed in the package method.

Twix loses its crunch: Add the chopped Twix only after spinning and immediately before eating.

The nutrition total differs by brand: Use the labels for your milk, whey, and Twix. Syrup amount and small flavoring contributions were not measured in the package estimate.

Storage and reheating

Store: Freeze the pint upright and level before processing. After spinning and topping, serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.

Reheat: Not applicable. If the frozen pint needs reprocessing, follow the Creami instructions and Respin without adding liquid as needed.

Lasts: Keep the unprocessed pint frozen; add caramel syrup and Twix after spinning.
