To best enjoy this ice cream, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances the creamy texture. It can be served in bowls or cones. For a more decadent experience, consider blending it into a thick milkshake with milk and perhaps a splash of vanilla extract. It also makes a delightful base for homemade ice cream sandwiches, using your favorite cookies as the outer layers.
