Tip:

• Always put ice-cream tin on chilling plate directly.
• Keep freezer cooling setting at maximum.
• If you do not want to use gelatin, skip gelatin related steps. Only thing is that ice-cream will melt soon after taking out of the freezer. However, it will still taste very good.
• You can adjust heavy cream quantity. 1 cup cream can be added while heating milk and 1 cup beaten cream can be added as mentioned above.
