Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Use powdered sweetener instead of granulated sugar to avoid graininess.
- Always freeze the pint completely solid on a level surface before spinning.
- Add liquid only in small amounts during Re-Spin to avoid melting the base.
- This base works for almost any flavor; just remove 2–3 tablespoons of base before adding mix-ins.
