Notes
Color:You do not need to add green food coloring! Feel free to omit this. It does not affect the taste at all.Storing:I like to pour the ice cream into a bread pan or similar sized dish before freezing. This makes it easy to make nice scoops with your ice cream scoop. Make sure you cover tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn.Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
