Ice cream is a mixture.
Melted ice cream is a heterogeneous mixture.

Particle theory explains your solution ice cream by describing how the particles (molecules) within the ice cream interact. When you mix ice cream with a solution, the colder ice cream's particles have lower energy and are less active compared to the particles in the solution, which have higher energy. This interaction can lead to changes in texture and flavor as the ice cream melts and integrates with the solution, demonstrating how particle behavior affects the overall properties of the mixture.
Ice cream, itself, is a heterogeneous mixture (a colloid). Therefore, adding strawberries (or anything else) to it still makes it a heterogeneous mixture.
It is a mixture.
Yes, an ice cream sundae is a heterogeneous mixture because it is a combination of different components that can be visually distinguished, such as ice cream, toppings, and sauce. Each component retains its individual properties and does not form a uniform solution.
Vanilla ice cream is a homogeneous mixture because, it is the same throughout, but perhaps if it was vanilla bean ice cream, you could see the specks of bean, so it would be different throughout, which makes vanilla bean ice cream a heterogeneous mixture :) Hope i helped! On the verge of study for H. Chem x)

Chocolate chip ice cream is considered a mechanical mixture because it consists of different components—ice cream base, chocolate chips, and any additional ingredients—that retain their distinct properties. The chocolate chips are dispersed throughout the ice cream but do not dissolve or chemically combine with it. As a result, you can still identify and separate the individual components within the mixture.
It is NOT a solution.
Ice creams are solutions as long as they do not have chunks of fruit, nuts, and other "chunks of food". Solution example -Vanilla -Chocolate Mixture example -butter pecan
