Leave in the refrigerator overnight. By morning, the mixture will thicken enough for further freezing. Transfer to a tightly sealed container for the freezer, mix thoroughly, level it out, and cover the surface of the ice cream with wax paper or plastic wrap. Close the lid and freeze for at least 6 hours.
