Second attempt at sugar-free chocolate.  This time I reduced the amount of stabilizer by half (but it still thickened in the blender) and doubled the amount of glycerin.  It spun very loose, like fresh churned.  After freezing for 5 hours it had firmed up will and was easy to scoop but just a tiny bit icy.  This afternoon I respun it and the texture is greatly improved.  It's back in the freezer and we'll see wat it's like in 6 hours or so.  

 

The key so far seems to be a respin after refreezing.

 

Pics, after initial spin and first scoop.
