<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To add your mix-ins to ice cream that you&#8217;ve bought at the store, you&#8217;ll need to let it sit out at room temperature for a bit to soften. Then, add your mix-ins and ice cream to the bowl and stir until combined. You may have to do a bit of mashing as well. Transfer your ice cream back to the container you bought it in or to a different airtight container and let it sit in the freezer for at least half an hour to firm up, then enjoy!<\/p>

<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1686164987428\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can I add to plain vanilla ice cream?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Any combination of the suggestions in this post would be perfect with vanilla ice cream! Brownies, cookies, pieces of cake, sprinkles, candy, fruit, or nuts are great ways to add some flair to ordinary vanilla. Instead of topping with hot fudge, mix it into the ice cream for delicious swirls.<\/p>

Then, add your mix-ins and ice cream to the bowl and stir until combined. You may have to do a bit of mashing as well. Transfer your ice cream back to the container you bought it in or to a different airtight container and let it sit in the freezer for at least half an hour to firm up, then enjoy!","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/the-definitive-list-of-the-best-ice-cream-mix-ins\/#faq-question-1686164987428","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/the-definitive-list-of-the-best-ice-cream-mix-ins\/#faq-question-1686164987428","name":"What can I add to plain vanilla ice cream?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Any combination of the suggestions in this post would be perfect with vanilla ice cream!
