My husband doesn't do well with dairy products and I try to limit the amount of sugar available to all of us without limiting the amount of delicious sweet treats available to all of us. So, this recipe uses almond milk and Stevia. Feel free to use regular milk and sugar if you like, but you really can't tell the difference between regular milk and sugar and almond milk and Stevia. And it does make this ice cream much better for you. So, you can eat more. Get the recipe: ofbatteranddough.com
