Notes
If you want smoother ice cream, add 1 tablespoon of vodka. You won't be able to taste it, but it will make the ice cream easier to scoop.
TO STORE: If your ice cream is too icy once removed from the freezer, you can microwave it for 15 seconds or let it sit for 15 minutes.
TO RE-FREEZE: The ice cream will become icier if re-frozen. If you do have leftovers and need to re-freeze them, place them in a new container and store them in the freezer for up to 1 month.
