Notes
- This recipe requires an ice cream machine for best results; without one, the texture may be less smooth.
- You can customize the flavor by adding mix-ins after churning, such as chocolate chips or fruit.
- Make sure the dairy ingredients are cold to help the ice cream freeze faster and churn properly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with coconut milk and coconut cream, respectively.
