Tips & Tricks:
- Use whole milk and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
- If using non-dairy milk or coconut cream, expect a slightly different consistency but equally delicious results.
Storage & Reheating:
- Smooth out the ice cream before refreezing in its original container to prevent ice crystals. To enjoy leftovers, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or reprocess using the “Re-spin” function for a fresh texture.
