Tips for Perfect Galaxy Ice Cream:

  • Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are very cold before you start whipping the cream to achieve the best volume and firmness.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry frosting according to your taste preference; reduce it if you desire a firmer texture.
  • Be creative with your color swirls to make each scoop uniquely galactic.
