Recipe Tips

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. After you have chilled the mixture in the refrigerator, pour it into a shallow container and freeze for 45 minutes. Remove from the freezer and whisk with a fork. Repeat this process every 30 minutes until the ice cream is frozen. This will help prevent ice crystals from forming. Make sure to store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. It will keep for up to a month in the freezer.
