Notes

  • For a no-churn method, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
  • Add mix-ins like chopped mango, lychee, or roasted peanuts for extra texture.
  • Use sweetened coconut milk for a richer and sweeter dessert, but reduce the added sugar.
