Can you use brown sugar?
Yes, but it will bring a slight caramelized note and change the color of the ice cream a little.
How long can you keep this ice cream?
It can be kept in the freezer for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
Why is my ice too hard?
Homemade ice cream contains less air and no industrial stabilizers. Just leave it at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
