For best results, use very cold half-and-half. You can even chill the inner bag in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting. Experiment with different fruits, extracts, and even a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder! The salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the ice cream mixture to freeze faster. Don't skip it! If you don't have half-and-half, you can use a combination of milk and cream. Be careful not to overfill the bags, as they may burst during shaking.
