Substitution

When serving, scoop with an ice cream spade and store leftovers in airtight, freezer-safe containers to maintain freshness.
Tips
Make sure your Cold Stone slab is thoroughly frozen before starting to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly during mixing. Use freezer-safe gloves to protect your hands from the cold while handling the slab and ice cream. When folding in peanut butter cups and brownie pieces, apply gentle but firm strokes to distribute the mix-ins evenly without crushing them. Portion your ice cream promptly to avoid melting, and store any leftovers in airtight freezer-safe containers to maintain freshness.
Nutritions

Storage
Store leftover That's How I Roll ice cream in airtight, freezer-safe containers to preserve its creamy texture and prevent freezer burn. Keep the containers at a consistent temperature below 0degF (-18degC) to maintain the quality of the vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups, and brownie pieces. For best results, use a scoop or spade to portion your ice cream directly from the container and reseal it tightly after each use to minimize air exposure.
Variation or Alternatives
You can substitute the peanut butter cups with chopped Reese's Pieces or crushed roasted peanuts for a different texture and flavor profile. Swapping brownie pieces for fudge chunks or chocolate chip cookies can add a new dimension of chewiness. For a lighter version, try blending Greek yogurt with the vanilla ice cream before mixing in the toppings. Chilling the mixing slab with dry ice instead of just freezing it can speed up the mixing process and help maintain a smoother consistency.
