“(For strawberry ice cream I mashed a load of fresh strawberries (you can add colouring but I didn’t) and crushed walnuts and maple syrup for the other ice cream).
“As I made two flavours I separated Into two bowls one for my strawberry ice cream and one for my maple and walnut ice cream.
“Add your flavour to the mix and carefully fold it in.
