FAQS
What milk makes the creamiest ice cream?
When making ice cream, it’s best to use whole milk and cream because they contain more fat which leads to smaller ice crystals and a creamier texture.
Why does my homemade ice cream get so hard in the freezer?
The freezer temperature should be around 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit to allow for easy scooping of ice cream.
Let the scooping, swirling, and savoring begin – because nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a scoop of homemade ice cream!
