3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed prickly pear fruit with 1 gallon of milk.
4. Stir the mixture until both ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process usually takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the machine.

8. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
