    FAQ and expert tips

    Is Thai ice cream the same as Thai tea ice cream?

    No. Thai ice cream is no churn ice cream made with Thai tea as a flavoring. Thai ice cream is a style of making ice cream where liquid ice cream base is poured into a frozen surface and the ice cream is rolled out. This type of ice cream is also called Thai rolled ice cream or stir fried ice cream due to the creation method.

    How do I store homemade ice cream?

    The best way to keep ice cream fresher for longer is to make sure it is stored in an air tight container and the temperature is kept as stable as possible. You can cover the ice cream with plastic wrap or parchment paper for extra seal and then put the lid on top.

    What is the best brand of Thai iced tea?

    Pantai iced tea is one of the most popular Thai iced tea brand served in most Thai restaurants. This tea is best known for its vibrant orange color and floral and vanilla aromatics.

    Notes

    1. Leftovers and Storage: Transfer to a freezer safe container or dish. Freeze at least 2 hours or overnight until firm. The best way to keep ice cream fresher for longer is to make sure it is stored in an air tight container and the temperature is kept as stable as possible. You can cover the ice cream with plastic wrap or parchment paper for extra seal and then put the lid on top.
    2. Nut Substitutions or Omission: If you are allergic to nuts, you can omit. The nuts primarily serve as an extra textural component but the flavor is still excellent without. You can also substitute walnuts for other nuts of choice. The nuts add texture. I recommend picking a nut with a mild flavor (example: pecans or macadamia nuts) that won’t overwhelm the Thai tea flavor.
