I carried out this process in the morning, after 8 hours when I returned from work the ice cream was completely blocked with ice. I removed it to dissolve a little bit at a point where I could put spoon to take my portion and here's the result I got;

The Difficulties Encountered

The preparation process of this ice cream was smooth and fun to me. The only time I faced a little difficulty was when I was stirring the mixture on cooking gas. It became hard at some point to stir but I was fast enough to make it blend together and easy to stir.
