Notes
- This is a no-churn ice cream, so it requires no ice cream maker and is very simple to prepare.
- Adjust the amount of black licorice extract according to your taste preference for a stronger or more subtle licorice flavor.
- Black food coloring is optional; it enhances the visual appeal but does not affect the flavor.
- Make sure to use heavy cream for best texture and richness.
- Store ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and preserve freshness.
