Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, for the best texture, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours, or ideally overnight, before churning in the Cuisinart ice cream maker. A well-chilled base ensures a smoother, creamier consistency.
Yes, you can substitute coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk, but the texture may be slightly less creamy. Using full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream can help maintain richness.
Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks. Store it in an airtight container in the freezer, pressing plastic wrap against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
