❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Almond Milk Ice Cream

1. Can I use any type of almond milk?

Yes, unsweetened almond milk works best to control the sweetness. Avoid sweetened or flavored varieties as they can change the taste and texture.

2. Do I need an ice cream maker?

No, you can make it without one. Just pour the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.

3. How long does this ice cream last?

It keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for best texture.

4. Can I make this vegan?

Absolutely. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a vegan sugar like organic cane sugar. The recipe is already dairy free.

5. Why is my ice cream icy?

Icy texture can happen if the mixture is not chilled enough before churning or if you skip the stirring step when freezing without a machine. Make sure to chill the base fully.
