FAQs
1. Can I use other types of milk?
Yes, you can use almond milk or coconut milk as a substitute, but this might change the texture slightly.
2. Is it necessary to chill the ice cream mixture?
Chilling the mixture helps it churn better, creating a creamier texture. It’s highly recommended!
3. How do I make this ice cream without an ice cream maker?
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, simply pour the mixture into a container and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes for a few hours until it reaches a creamy consistency.
