Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using heavy cream instead of some of the milk. You can replace the evaporated milk with coconut milk for a dairy-free option, adding a unique flavor. To enhance the taste, try incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract in step 3. Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly to achieve a smooth mixture.

Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To keep it scoopable, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. If it becomes too hard, you can soften it by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
