My Favourite Combine-Ins

I’ve SO many concepts for you, however first: one of the best time so as to add mix-ins is after churning or proper earlier than freezing when you’re utilizing the no-churn technique. Gently fold them in and ensure laborious or excessive water content material mix-ins, like granola, nuts, and contemporary fruit, are chopped so that they don’t get rock laborious when frozen!
