Notes
-
Dairy-Free Options: Use coconut milk and cream in place of dairy in all recipes. Almond milk also works but yields a slightly thinner texture.
-
Sweetener Swaps: Substitute sugar with honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness.
-
Texture Boost: Add small fruit chunks or swirls of fruit puree before freezing to enhance the texture and taste.
-
Freeze Time Tip: Stirring the mixture every 30–60 minutes as it freezes prevents ice crystals and helps you achieve a creamier consistency without a machine.
-
Storage: Store your ice cream in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn and enjoy within 1–2 weeks for the best flavor and texture.
- Prep Time: 10–15 minutes
- Cook Time: 4–6 hours (or overnight for best results)
