So far just trying the example recipe that came with the machine, except swapping full fat milk for oat milk and double cream for a vegan alternative. In this case also following the instructions for the mint variant (using vegan dark chocolate)

Simple Vanilla Ice Cream
110ml
full fat milk
75g
granulated sugar
225ml
double cream
1 tsp
vanilla extract
• Pour the milk and sugar into a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cream and vanilla, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
• Whisk the mixture and pour into the ice cream maker bowl. Cover with the lid.
• Turn appliance on and set the timer for 40 to 50 minutes.
• To produce a firmer ice cream churn in the ice cream maker for longer.
• Serve or store in an airtight container in the treezer.
Variations:
Mint Choc Chip: omit the vanilla and replace with 1tsp of peppermint extract. Chop 50g of milk chocolate into very small pieces and add during the last 5 minutes of mixing.
Cookies and Cream: add 70g of coarsely chopped cookies e.g. chocolate chip during the last 5 minutes of mixing.

Looks like Delirium found its way into your copy of MSPaint and is gearing up to make an absolute mess of your desktop. Hope you don't mind it taking over your audio out for a little while, too. By @theroguez.bsky.social
