Notes
- Equipment Swap: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the base into a loaf pan, freeze, and stir vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- Flavor Variations: Add a cinnamon stick to the base for 10 minutes before chilling, or fold in chopped Mexican chocolate for a mocha twist.
