To best enjoy this ice cream, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes after removing it from the freezer. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances the creamy texture. It can be served in individual bowls or cones. For a more decadent experience, it can be used as a base for milkshakes, blended with milk and other desired ingredients. It also pairs well with warm baked goods, adding a cool contrast to their heat.

How to keep the rest
After opening, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Reseal the container tightly and return it to the freezer. Store in the coldest part of your freezer to maintain optimal quality and texture for future servings.
