Ingredients

  • 1 cup real maple syrup

Directions

  1. Freeze, or prepare the inner canister of the ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Stir all ingredients until well combined. Chill the mixture thoroughly.
  2. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to churn the chilled mixture in an electric ice cream maker—it will take 15 to 20 minutes to turn into ice cream. Enjoy it right away as soft-serve ice cream, or transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for 2 or more hours to harden.
