Recipes FAQ

Can I use skim milk instead of whole milk?

While you can use skim milk in this recipe, it will result in a less creamy, less rich texture.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, you can double the recipe to make more ice cream. Just make sure your ice cream maker can handle the larger amount of mixture.

How long can I store the ice cream?

The ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to chill the mixture before churning to ensure the ice cream freezes properly.
  • If you're adding mix-ins, be sure to add them during the last few minutes of churning so they're evenly distributed.
  • If you want a softer ice cream, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
