Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of a bar? White chocolate chips often contain stabilisers that can affect the texture. For the best results, use a high‑quality white chocolate bar.
Do I need an ice cream maker? Yes – an ice cream maker is recommended for the best texture. However, you can also try the no‑churn method by whipping the cream and folding it into the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
Why is my ice cream icy? This usually happens if the custard wasn’t chilled enough before churning, or if it wasn’t churned long enough. Also, make sure to press parchment paper onto the surface before freezing.
Can I use a different sweetener? You can reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute, but this will affect the texture and freezing point. It’s best to follow the recipe as written.
How long does this ice cream keep? Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer. For the best flavour, consume within the first week.
Can I make this dairy‑free? Yes – use full‑fat coconut milk and coconut cream, and a dairy‑free white chocolate alternative. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
