Tips

• For a richer flavor, let the mixture sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours before churning.
• If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
