For anyone having issues with weird clumping like me, xanthan gum shouldn't really be poured directly into a liquid and left to sit while more ingredients get added, because it clumps up really fast. A good practice would be to mix the xanthan gum with your sugar or add it while you have your blender running so it gets immediately distributed throughout your ice cream before it absorbs any liquid and thickens up. That said, if you're putting more than 10g of pudding mix in the ice cream, you don't need xanthan gum at all.
