Recipe Variations
When it comes to a recipe, I love it when there are ways to change it around and create something different. Use these ideas to change the ice cream to create different looks or flavors.
- This ice cream is softer because of adding the frosting. You can omit the frosting if you want. We like it because it adds strawberries and cream flavor that we love.
- The black ice cream sort of gets lost a little due to the other bright colors. You could make more black than other colors if you want the black to stand out a little bit more.
- You could omit the black ice cream completely and you will have mermaid or unicorn ice cream instead. Just add different sprinkles and it will turn out great.
- Add in fruit, nuts, or even chocolate chips to add even more flavor and style.
