FAQs on Strawberry Ice Cream
1. How to avoid Strawberry Ice Cream from getting crystalized?
Once your Strawberry Ice Cream is ready, store it in an airtight container and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
2. How can you tell if the Strawberry Ice Cream has been set?
When the ice cream has set, it should have a firm and scoopable texture. It shouldn't be too soft or runny. The ice cream should maintain its shape when you scoop it with a spoon and not fall apart immediately.
3. How do you get better-textured ice cream?
As more air is whipped into ice cream during the process, its texture becomes smoother. Rapid whipping incorporates a greater amount of air, resulting in a smoother texture. Conversely, slower whipping introduces less air, resulting in a denser texture.
A quick tip: To achieve a smoother texture of the Strawberry Ice Cream, whip quickly while being mindful to avoid overwhipping.

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries in the Strawberry Ice Cream recipe. Thaw them before blending or puréeing for the recipe.
