Tips for Flaming Hot Ice Cream

  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning to ensure a smoother texture.
  • Watch the ice cream during the last minutes of churning to avoid over-freezing and ice crystals.
  • Serve the ice cream slightly softened for the best balance of creaminess and spice.

Ingredient substitutions

  • heavy cream: full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • whole milk: 2% milk or almond milk for a lighter base
  • sugar: honey or agave syrup, adjusting amount to taste
  • vanilla extract: vanilla bean paste or vanilla powder

Storage and reheating

Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 days. Allow to soften slightly at room temperature before serving; no reheating needed.
