  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2-3/4 cups sugar see note

  • Whisk all ingredients together and process according to your ice cream machine directions. If desired, add toppings or add-ins in the last minute of churning, mix in by hand, or layer in by hand. Freeze in freezer until firm.

Notes

Adjust sugar content to your liking. I add more or less sugar depending on what I’m adding in.
-Hand mix in crushed cookies, sprinkles, nuts, cheesecake crumbles, fruits, etc.
-Mash fresh fruit in a bowl with a little sugar or a spoonful of coordinating fruit jam and then layer in swirls in the freezer container.
-Layer in swirls of caramel, chocolate, or fruit sauce in freezer container.
