FAQ
Q: Can I use a different type of milk instead of whole milk?
A: Yes, you can use low-fat milk for a lighter version, but keep in mind that it might affect the creaminess of the ice cream.
Q: Can I substitute the rock salt with table salt?
A: Rock salt is recommended for this recipe as it helps create a lower temperature to freeze the ice cream. Table salt may not have the same effect.
