Texture checker
Choose the symptom, base style, respin count, and liquid already added. Pint Prep will keep the fix narrow: one current-bowl rescue, one next-batch change, and one thing to avoid.
Texture result
Recommended path
This looks like a hard or water-heavy freeze. Start with thaw time, then use a small liquid correction only if needed.
Rest the pint 5-10 minutes, scrape down the sides, then respin. Add only 1 tbsp liquid if it still looks snowy.
Add a little more solids or creaminess next batch: yogurt, dairy solids, measured sweetener, or a small stabilizer change.
Do not add a large splash of liquid before checking whether a short rest solves the icy hardness.
Plant milk and fruit bases often have less dairy solids, so thaw time and solids balance matter before extra liquid.

OpenFAQ
Use the checker after the first spin or first respin, while you can still tell whether the pint is icy, crumbly, gummy, watery, or muted.
No. Add liquid only when the symptom calls for it. Gummy or watery pints usually need a different next-batch change instead of more liquid.
Treat the result as a kitchen troubleshooting plan, not a new recipe. Use it to make one current-bowl rescue and one next-batch adjustment.
