You can but using milk only probably isn’t creamy enough to make it ice cream – it’ll be runnier and more milkshake-like.
Can whole milk or canned whole milk be substituted for half n half?
Some freezers are too cold. Another factor that is probably contributing is the lower fat content. You can use heavy cream instead of half and half and that should help. We haven’t tested it but other people have suggested adding a few teaspoons of hard alcohol (like rum or vodka) to help keep it from getting rock-hard solid.
Tries de vanilla ice cream, the oreo cookie one and the blueberry one but replaced the blueberry with strawberry. As soon as ready all three were VERY good. However, once in the freezer they all turned into a big ice cube. Is that normal? Am I supposed to be able to freeze it and eat it later without waiting for it to unfreeze?
The sweetened condensed milk can be substituted for sugar and more half and half. We’d recommend decreasing the frozen milk a little to help improve blending. Play around with the half and half and sugar to find the right consistency of ice cream. Let us know how it turns out!
