Ingredients
Instructions
Note: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can use the following method:
Prepare the ice cream mixture following the instructions above. Pour the ice cream mixture into a large and shallow container. If it’s steel, it’s better because your ice cream freezes better and faster in it. Chill it in the refrigerator for about 8 hours. Then put it in the freezer. Wait it there for 30 minutes.
Take it out and whisk constantly with a fork for 2-3 minutes. Scrape the ice crrystals you see around the top of the container and stir in the mixture and keep whisking. Put it back into the freezer. Repeat this for 4 times.
Transfer the mixture in an airtight container and freeze for 5 hours.
