# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It turns basic ingredients into a nostalgic treat that feels far richer than the sum of its parts.
- The fresh fruit provides a bright acidity that cuts through the cream, stopping the sweetness from becoming cloying.
02 -
- If you skip chilling your glasses, the ice cream will start melting within seconds of hitting the warm glass.
- Over blending can actually make the mixture thin and warm it up too much.
03 -
- If the blender is struggling, add a splash more milk rather than forcing the motor.
- Pour the milk in first to protect the blades and help everything move smoothly.
