How fruit goes in
The Guelph e-Book says fruit usually makes up about 15 to 25% of the ice cream by weight: juice goes into the mix, and pieces are added after freezing. Under 21 CFR 135.110, when real fruit is paired with artificial flavor, that flavor counts as predominant, and the label must say so, if the fruit is under 2% of the finished weight for citrus, 6% for berry or cherry, or 10% for other fruits.
