- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, adding more caramel or sweetener as desired.
Freezing

Notes
For a creamier texture, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. For a quicker setup, chill your ingredients in the refrigerator before blending. Add extra toppings like nuts or chocolate chips for a crunch factor.
