Could it be because of the ingredients I’m using, the freezer bowl not being cold enough, or some mistake in the process? What are the main reasons that prevent ice cream from setting to a firm, scoopable texture?
Check the temp of the freezer where you are chilling your bowl.
Make sure you’re chilling that bowl long enough.
Make sure you are chilling your mix down thoroughly before it goes into the bowl. It should be ~ 40°F. If it’s warmer, check the temp of your fridge.
Check the temp of your finished ice cream.
And, as @JoNorvelleWalker said, provide more specifics on the ice cream maker you’re using, the recipes you’re working with and all those temperatures I asked you to check!
Edited to add that there could be multiple factors at play, but temperature probably comes into play in some way which is why I asked those questions.
Here's a link to a Thermoworks blog post that discusses some of the ways.
