Tips from our Bakers
- For a sugar-free version: replace maple syrup with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon powdered stevia. If using liquid stevia, start with 10 drops and increase 1 drop at a time, according to taste.
- Enjoy these flavor variations:
Vanilla: Add the paste/seeds from 1 vanilla bean; or 1 teaspoon vanilla powder; or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract before blending.
Chocolate: Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture before blending.
Coffee: Add 2 to 3 teaspoons espresso powder to the mixture before blending.
Chocolate chip: Following the manufacturer's instructions to determine the point at which to add additional ingredients, add 1/2 cup chocolate chips/sprinkles to the frozen mixture while churning.
