Notes
*You can take the liberty of adding whatever kind you have laying around. A strawberry, raspberry, or peach may be good in here, too. It adds a different fruity element to the ice cream.
Special equipment needed: Ice cream maker – Make sure the ice cream vessel is frozen prior to use. I usually just leave mine in the freezer all the time so it’s always ready for me.
