Very easy to make!
This was Amazing! So simple and delicious. My only change was to the 3 hrs wait time. I found that scraping every 1.5 hrs rather than wait a full 3 hrs, worked better for me. This made it easier for me to create a more fluffy batch of ice. Great recipe and good activity for kids as well. Definitely will make again! Bravo!
