recommendations

Use a can of coconut milk, not a vegetable coconut milk.
Soy milk is ideal because its high percentage of protein helps to give consistency to the ice cream.
With the passing of time, it is normal for the ice cream to become harder. Take it out 10-15 minutes before serving and mix it so that it recovers the same consistency as freshly made.
