# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- You will be amazed at how using really ripe berries completely eliminates the need for artificial flavors.
- It takes exactly five minutes, which is a lifesaver when unexpected guests drop by on a sweltering day.
02 -
- Never blend the mixture for too long or the friction from the motor will melt the ice cream and leave you with a watery mess.
- Freezing your serving glasses for just ten minutes beforehand completely changes the diner vibe of the final presentation.
03 -
- Always keep your blender lid firmly held down with a kitchen towel to prevent disastrous pink splatter explosions across your ceiling.
- Letting the strawberries sit at room temperature for just ten minutes before blending releases their natural juices and intensifies the flavor.
