Will my ice cream be fizzy?

The process of whisking and churning will remove most of the carbonation, so the final ice cream will not be fizzy. However, the soda imparts its unique, sweet flavor and helps to create a slightly lighter, refreshing texture.

Why is my ice cream a little icy?

This can happen if you don't chill the base thoroughly before churning it. An ice-cold base allows the ice cream to freeze faster in the machine, which results in smaller ice crystals and a creamier texture. Using a lower-fat cream or half-and-half can also contribute to iciness.

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Yes, absolutely! Simply mash 1 cup of fresh, ripe strawberries and use them in place of the thawed frozen strawberries. The flavor of your Strawberry-Soda Ice Cream will be just as delicious.
