Tips and Techniques
- Darker maple syrup has a stronger flavor. If you want the maple syrup to really shine, use a darker one.
- You can toast the walnuts in a skillet for a couple minutes, watching very closely to prevent burning, to enhance the flavor. Let cool completely before adding to the ice cream.
- Chilling the mixing bowl in the freezer ahead of time will help the heavy cream whip up nice and fluffy. Be sure to leave the cream in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. The colder, the better.
- Store extra ice cream covered in the freezer. Consume within 10-14 days.
