FAQs

Can I prep the mixture in advance?

Yes! You can make the mixture ahead of time. For a creamier texture, stir it every hour for the first 4 hours of freezing.

How do I prevent ice crystals from forming?

Cover the surface of the mixture with cling film before freezing, as this helps reduce ice crystals.

How do I make them less sweet?

To dial down the sweetness, reduce the amount of maple syrup or use unsweetened yogurt.
