- Freeze the fruit ahead of time: This will help to create a smooth and icy texture.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use a blender: Just blend the frozen fruit until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add other ingredients to your snow cream for extra flavor: Try adding honey, vanilla extract, or chocolate chips.
- Serve snow cream immediately: It will start to melt quickly, so enjoy it while it's still cold.
