Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this without heavy cream? You can substitute with coconut cream or a non‑dairy whipping cream for a vegan version, but the texture will be slightly different.
Why is my ice cream icy? This usually happens from too much water content or not enough fat. Make sure you use full‑fat dairy and avoid over‑mixing.
Can I reduce the sugar? Yes – you can reduce the granulated sugar or use a sugar substitute, but the texture may be softer due to the lower sugar content.
How do I make it dairy‑free? Use full‑fat coconut milk and coconut cream in place of the dairy, and a dairy‑free sweetened condensed milk alternative.
Can I add alcohol? Yes – a tablespoon of bourbon, rum, or liqueur can be added for flavour, but be careful as alcohol lowers the freezing point, making the ice cream softer.
