  • 1½ Cup Homogenized 3.25% Milk

  • Set to ice cream blend full. The machine will churn the ice cream.
  • When finished remove the pint and the lid.
  • Dig out the center of the ice cream to a four cm or one-and-a-half-inch wide hole by 8 cm deep or two inches.
  • Add into the hole two tablespoons chopped walnuts.
  • Place lid back on the pint and return to the ice cream machine as instructed.
