Note

For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave nectar or maple syrup.

You can use other tropical fruit juices like mango or passion fruit for different flavor profiles.

Ensure the soy milk is well-chilled before blending to achieve the best texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes for the first few hours to prevent large ice crystals.
