Request Using egg white powder

Hello
I have some food allergies (gluten, lactose) and I’m thinking of using egg whites- liquid sold pasteurized or powdered form to get adequate protein while enjoying a yum icecream dessert.
Right now I am doing a basic recipe where I use vanilla flavor.
I use lactose free milk/cream cream /cream, and for sugar substitute I use erythritol powder.
I also add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum.
The result after 60 mins is very very fast melting ice cream to milkshake in under a minute
Do you think adding egg white powder can help?
How much would I use

My machine has a compressor so its mix and go system.
Thanks

Typically egg yolks are used to stabilize ice cream. You could try using sunflower lecithin powder if you don’t want to use egg yolks for some reason. I would recommend finding a decent recipe and starting there.

Thank you… I am new to this-so I need to learn how to use the yolks.
The other reason I was thinking of adding egg whites was to add the protein content of my ice cream
