FAQs

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

It’s best to use frozen fruit to achieve the creamy, ice cream-like texture. Fresh fruit can be used but will result in a softer, more sorbet-like consistency unless frozen first.

What plant-based milks work best?

Any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk can be used. Thicker milks like coconut milk can create a richer texture.
