Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Use fresh milk, cream, and eggs. If you can, use organic ingredients.
Make sure your ice cream maker is frozen. The ice cream maker needs to be frozen for at least 24 hours before you use it. This will help the ice cream freeze quickly and smoothly.
Don't overfill your ice cream maker. If you overfill the ice cream maker, the ice cream will not churn properly. Fill the ice cream maker to no more than 2/3 full.
Churn the ice cream for the recommended time. The churning time will vary depending on the type of ice cream maker you are using. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving.
