COMMON ISSUES:
-
Scoop doesn’t form unless you pack it well.
-
Your Scoops are falling apart although you scooped a few perfectly. Your mix likely has dried out, add a bit of Bubble Bath and mix until it sticks together again.
-
The scoops are sticky and can’t be released from the ice cream scoop. Your mix is likely a little too wet , try adding some more Baking Soda to balance it out.
-
Your mix starts to puff up . You likely added too much liquid too fast. Simply wait until the mixture is no longer puffy or add a little more Baking Soda.
