It was hilarious yet adorable

Probably no. I actually thought it was kinda extreme he revealed some of his recipe to tasty

No you're not. I was waiting for his reply

[@TheMeli12367]

You blended up just bananas and were shocked that it didn’t magically turn into vanilla ice cream???

[@li_tsz_fung]

Nah, they're looking for the texture. If they texture is right, they can just add vanilla because banana doesn't have strong flavour

[@elizabethsharp225]

@@li_tsz_fung banana has a super strong flavor 😂 If you use it in a smoothie you only need a little so it's not over baring

[@Bmedina29]

Tsz Fung Li Banana has literally the strongest flavor ever..

[@oh4539]

They made it wrong tho. It was liquidy, you are supposed to not add any liquid and use a food processor so it has an ice cream consistency

[@SpiritsJamaa]

Vanilla, peanut butter, and cinnamon are AMAZING with it.

[@CarlosRIOS777]

This just further proves that Alvin is the Tasty godsend

Where’s the “thank you Alvin” ...?

[@lapplegerl]

i like how both BA and tasty has a female producer called claire, that their co workers often turn to for help. love them both! and i hope ben replied :)

[@kylechandlert.delrosario]

You should've boiled the scraped vanilla pods with the syrup to intensify vanilla flavour,just my opinion.*not an expert* 😂

[@bcbock]

Yes. They threw a lot of flavor in the trash.

[@katlinnguyen6501]

I don’t know why she didn’t just taste test the ingredients in the first place. As well as taste along the way 🤦🏻‍♀️ but congrats you finally figured it out 👍🏼

[@sagebeigephage]

@@thesnowflakediaries5267Generally if you're freezing something like sorbet by just sticking it in the freezer and not using specialized machinery, you'll need to agitate it with a fork or scraper each hour or so until frozen. That way you'll get a fluffier texture instead of just a solid block of iced whatever. Maybe this is what op was talking about?

[@thesnowflakediaries5267]

Emily Dunning thank you so much!!

[@kelsey2333]

@@thesnowflakediaries5267 actually I'm pretty sure she meant scraping the ingredients out of measuring equipment to keep the recipe consistent, because baking is a science and can be very finicky.
