- To make dairy-free Cocomelon Ice Cream, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and condensed milk with coconut condensed milk.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for a softer texture.
- You can get creative by shaping the ice cream into fun molds or serving it in colorful bowls for a true Cocomelon-themed experience.
