Notes
Getting ice cream frozen to the correct temperature quickly will really determine how smooth and creamy your final product turns out.
Ensure your ice cream machine canister is frozen completely before using, and make sure your custard mixture is completely chilled before churning, as these are very important steps. Do not remove your ice cream maker canister from the freezer until you’re ready to pour the ice cream into it.
When you remove ice cream from the freezer to enjoy it, let it sit out for five to ten minutes to ensure easier scooping.
