Ingredients

Scale

Yield: 2 servings

Instructions

  • Adjust Consistency

  • Serve or Freeze

Notes

Texture Tips

  • For a thicker ice cream, use less milk or add extra frozen fruit.

  • For a creamier result, use full-fat milk or coconut milk.

Make It Your Own

  • Add walnuts or hemp seeds for healthy fats and protein.

  • Sprinkle cocoa nibs for crunch and extra antioxidants.

  • Chia seeds help thicken the mixture naturally.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.

  • Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
