- This recipe is gluten-free!
- This ice cream could also be served as a soft serve.
- Do not boil the milk when you're cooking it. Just bring it to a light simmer.
- If you overcook the custard or it just breaks for any reason, whisk it constantly over an ice bath. This will help bring it back together.
