- For a softer serve, skip final freezing step.
- Add mix-ins during last minute of churning.
- Layer in jams or curds for extra flavor.
- Drizzle melted chocolate or salted caramel for unique textures.
- Substitute berries for half-and-half to make fruit ice cream.
- Store in an airtight container with wax paper to prevent ice crystals.
