Question FOD Custard Thickness

How are yall getting some of these flavored FOD custards to not come out runny and so soft the scoops almost instantly melt?

Like it seems no matter what I do butter pecan or double strawberry is of a consistency that I can’t even scoop into a cone.

Yea some are tough, double strawberry especially. All i know to do is swap to a deep bucket assuming you usually use a half bucket for fods and run the flow slow like .5 instead of the usual 1.

For Double Strawberry specifically, do not put any strawberries on it until you’re ready to scoop it. If you put them on early, the syrup will cause the custard to get runny. I also typically let them churn an extra minute or so to get a thicker consistency.
