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.

I haven't worked there in a few years but I don't recall even having half bucket for custard. Is there a reason for a half bucket over a normal bucket? Even if you're not making much it's not like it's hard to scoop stuff at the bottom of the bucket.

Yea true enough, not entirely sure lol. I know we do a half buckets of chocolate in winter so silly ppl dont make too much chocolate. Maybe just to ensure the fods stay fresh.
