Q: Can I use frozen blueberries instead of blueberry jam for the filling?
A: While blueberry jam provides a consistent texture and sweetness, you can use a homemade blueberry compote made from frozen blueberries as an alternative. Just ensure it’s thick enough not to make the ice cream too icy.
Q: Is it necessary to use hazelnuts, or can I substitute them with other nuts?
A: Hazelnuts add a unique flavor, but you can substitute them with other nuts like almonds or walnuts for a different taste profile.
