- Run the pint under warm water to soften the sides and reduce ice crystals.
- The almond milk adds to the cookie flavor. You could use just entirely 2% milk if you prefer.
- Melt the butter to make it easier to whisk into the base. Alternatively, you can use ½ teaspoon butter extract if you have it.
- You can use homemade or store bought sugar cookies, with or without frosting.
- If you cannot finish the entire pint, flatten the top and re-freeze. Spin on "Lite Ice Cream" next time. The sugar cookies will blend into the base.
