I'm fairly new to ice cream making. I have a Cuisinart Ice-100 that I purchased off Facebook marketplace. The first recipe I looked for was sour cream ice cream because we tried some in Switzerland.

Thr recipe was SPOT ON. The flavor is fabulous. But OMG. Once its been in the freezer its a literal ROCK. Like absolutely unscoopable, even after 5 minutes of sitting out.

Is there anything I can do to this recipe that won't change the flavor but will keep it from doing it's best imitation of a rock in the freezer?

Tangy Sour Cream Ice Cream

Ingredients

12 ounces sour cream

4 ounces plain whole milk yogurt

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

Pinch salt

1 cup whole milk

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and zest.

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and 2 tablespoons of the milk. Whisk until a uniform paste forms, then whisk in the remaining milk. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly until the mixture foams and boils. Take care not to burn the mixture. When the mixture thickens slightly, remove the pan from the heat.

Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the sour cream mixture. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, preferably overnight.

Freeze the in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions

Seeing Mumford on June 20 and we loathe the idea of waiting hours in the parking lot afterwards. I've seen chatter online about parking in the garage and walking. Distance is 1.6 miles on the suggested walking route, which is fine, but from a safety perspective, is this route safe? Especially after dark?

I assume we won't be the only ones looking to park here for the concert either, if this is a legitimate idea, so we would plan to arrive plenty early and eat dinner nearby before the concert. How early should we try to arrive?

If this is not a feasible plan, I'm open to alternate suggestions.
