I prefer churning ice cream to non-churned so I use an ice cream maker. I make sure the bowl is in the freezer at least 15 hours before churning so it is completely frozen. If you don’t have the freezer space to keep the ice cream maker bowl in it at all times, just make the space the night before. I will pop it into the freezer on the same day I make the custard base, chill the base overnight then churn the next day knowing the ice cream maker bowl is fully frozen.
