Love soft serve but not so crazy about inevitably ending up eating a lot more fast food in the quest for your favorite icy, creamy dessert? Or, do you just want a fun kitchen gadget your kids will love? If you have an ice cream maker and want to create your own soft serve treats, these mixes are the first step. You can choose from a wide variety of flavors, including popular choices like vanilla, pineapple, mango, chocolate, and raspberry. So, if you often crave soft serve, making your own is a smart choice. You will pay around 35 cents per ounce for a mix – far less and much tastier than at the local parlor.
