I was a dumb kid, went for the same consistency in the grossest way possible, which was putting spoonfuls in my mouth, spitting it back into the bowl and mixing it in. One day an older friend saw that, horrified. Told me to just stir the ice cream for a while instead and I stopped with the saliva ice cream shenanigans from then on.
As a kid, I liked to turn my ice cream into an actual creamy texture by repeatedly stabbing it with my spoon.
I looked like a maniac doing it, but the result is great

Kids aren't the smartest sometimes, you and me both certainly weren't exempt from that rule
But you had the right idea. I mean hey, it's called ice cream for a reason, no?
