- No ice cream maker? No problem! Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours to break up ice crystals.
- Dairy-free option: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and almond or oat milk for whole milk.
- For a softer texture: Add a tablespoon of vodka or corn syrup to prevent the ice cream from freezing too hard.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with fresh tropical fruits, toasted coconut, or drizzle with honey for extra indulgence.
