- Temperature Control: Ensure ice cream is slightly softened but not melted to achieve perfect creamy consistency without diluting flavors.
- Blending Technique: Start with pulse mode to break down large fruit chunks, then blend continuously for smooth, velvety texture without fruit lumps.
- Presentation Perfection: Chill serving glasses beforehand to maintain dessert’s cool temperature and enhance overall sensory experience.
