Why is my homemade ice cream gritty?

Is mcdonalds ice cream made with pasteurized milk?

Let me start by saying that McDonald's milkshakes, McFlurries and ice cream products (including Sundaes) are all made with pasteurized milk and cream, universally, across the board. That's the first concern out of the way – the dairy is not raw and the ingredients are therefore safe for pregnant women.
