# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It turns forgotten, slightly soft fruit into a luxurious treat that tastes infinitely better than anything from a drive-thru.
- The texture is incredibly velvety, striking that perfect balance between a light drink and a spoonable dessert.
02 -
- If you use frozen strawberries instead of fresh, reduce the milk by a quarter cup to prevent the mixture from becoming too icy and watery.
- Always blend on the lowest setting first to macerate the fruit, otherwise you risk throwing chunks of frozen berry against the lid and making a mess.
03 -
- If the mixture is too thick for your blender to move, stop the machine and stir it with a spoon to loosen the ice cube jam.
- Over-blending can actually melt the ice cream too much, so turn off the machine as soon as the sound smooths out.
