Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter treat, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the raspberry puree. If you prefer a creamier texture, substitute half of the heavy cream with coconut cream or Greek yogurt. Fresh raspberries can also be used if you're looking for a more vibrant flavor. Blend in a splash of vanilla extract for added depth.
Serving Suggestions

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
