Questions

Can I make Watermelon Ice Cream dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Watermelon Ice Cream keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Watermelon Ice Cream?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
