- Avoid over-churning the ice cream, as it can result in a grainy texture.
- Avoid adding mix-ins too early, as they can sink to the bottom of the ice cream maker.
- Avoid using low-fat ingredients, as they can affect the texture and creaminess of the ice cream.
- Avoid skipping the chilling process before serving, as it allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
- Avoid storing the ice cream in the freezer for an extended period, as it can develop freezer burn and lose its fresh taste.
