Sous Chef
I thought it might be over blending also.
I don't let the ice sit around softening, I toss the carton in the microwave and give 18-20 seconds while I lay out the other supplies. I've also discovered (due to old wrists) that the sharpness of the ice cream scoop is important in "scoopability" of firmish ice cream. I have some scoops that I wouldn't be able to get a scoop out of the carton if the ice cream is near liquid. But another, is sharp enough to cut through some pretty solid stuff. I might have to give a booze milkshake a try.
