Note

For a softer texture, you can beat the mixture again halfway through the final freezing period.

If you prefer a sweeter ice, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup, though this will make it non-vegan if using honey.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
