MATERIALS:
- Small resealable plastic zip-lock bag (1 quart-sized)
- Large resealable plastic zip-lock bag (1 gallon-sized)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Ice cream scoop
TIPS:
- This is only good for 1 person or 2 small servings, but you can make 2 or more mixtures inside small plastic baggies. Larger and stronger containers like empty coffee cans can be used to shake them for bigger portions.
- Freezer bags are best to avoid possible leakage because they are more sturdy than regular gallon-sized plastic bags.
- Milk creates a lighter, less dense ice cream. For a richer, creamier ice cream, you can use half-and-half.
- For organic ice cream: choose organic ingredients.
- For frozen yoghurt: choose a mixture of yoghurt and milk
- For dairy-free ice cream: choose coconut milk instead of cow's milk
- For sherbet: choose a combination of milk and fruit juice
- For chocolate ice cream: choose chocolate syrup
- Get creative by topping it off with chopped fruit or chocolate chips to make it look more appetizing.
