Tips:
If you want to make your ice cream extra rich and decadent, you can substitute some of the heavy cream with half-and-half or even heavy whipping cream. However, this will increase the calorie and fat content of the recipe.
For best results, make sure your ice cream maker bowl is thoroughly frozen before you begin making the recipe. You can store it in the freezer for at least 24 hours before you plan to use it.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make homemade ice cream by freezing the mixture in a shallow container and stirring it every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency. It may not be as smooth and creamy as ice cream made with a machine, but it will still taste delicious!
