- FOR CHOCOLATE VERSION: place butter in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high 30 seconds or until fully melted

- Sugar is one of the ingredients that keeps ice cream from freezing solid overnight. This recipe does not contain sugar so it may freeze solid if frozen for more than 6 hours. If this happens set the ice cream out at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
