Additional ingredients such as fruits, nuts, chocolate, or swirls of syrup are often added to enhance the flavor and texture. The mixture is then frozen to a temperature below the freezing point of water to achieve the characteristic solid yet scoopable consistency of ice cream. Ice cream comes in a wide variety of flavors and styles, ranging from classic vanilla and chocolate to more exotic options, catering to diverse taste preferences.
