Ingredients

• 2 cups milk of choice or nondairy creamer or coconut milk
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, brown sugar or xylitol for sugar-free
• pinch Stevia or 1 extra tablespoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• optional ingredients for whatever flavor you desire

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all ingredients (except optional ingredients, if they are chunky) in a dish. If you have an ice-cream maker: simply transfer to your ice cream maker and watch the magic. I have a Cuisinart, and it took 12 to 14 minutes to turn the liquid into ice cream. Make sure your ice cream maker’s base is completely frozen before use, or it will not work.

You can eat it straight from the machine or freeze a few hours for a firmer texture. Homemade ice cream is best the day it’s made, but you can keep it in your freezer for about 2 weeks.
