Tips

  1. If you would like a richer ice cream add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder to the condensed milk.
  2. Your homemade ice cream will keep for up to a week in the freezer.
  3. The ice cream will be hard when frozen so it is a good idea to remove from the freezer and remove the lid about 15 minutes before you wish to serve so that it softens a little and is easier to scoop.
  4. Heat the ice cream scoop in a jug of hot water before serving to make it easier to scoop.
