Recipe Notes and Tips

Choosing your macarons:

Be aware that the darker and more vibrant color of the macarons you use, the more it will alter the color of the ice cream. We used mostly pastels and one dark red macaron, which is why ours has a slight pink tint to the ice cream.

Crushing up the macarons:

Macaron shells are very delicate so it doesn’t take much to crush them. Plus, it’s fine if they are not finely crushed since the ice cream maker will evenly combine them into the ice cream.

Do I need to heat up my ice cream mixture?

Some ice cream recipes will call for the ingredients to first be cooked and heated before going into the ice cream mixture. It is not required for this particular recipe since no eggs are involved.

However, you can add this additional step to dissolve the sugar faster. Just make sure that the mixture is cooled to room temperature before adding it into the ice cream machine.

How long does ice cream keep?

Ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
