FAQ
-
Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk?
For a vegan recipe, coconut milk is crucial for its fat content, providing the creamy texture. Other plant-based milks will result in a less creamy ice cream. -
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes, agave nectar, date syrup, or stevia can be used as substitutes for maple syrup. Adjust the amount to taste. -
How long will the ice cream last in the freezer?
The ice cream will last for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. After that, it may develop ice crystals and lose some of its creamy texture.
