- Top pies and crumbles
- Blend into milkshakes
- Serve with fruit
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to achieve the best texture. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances its creamy mouthfeel. It can be served directly from the container in bowls or cones. For milkshakes, combine a few scoops with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender. It also pairs well with warm baked goods, adding a cool contrast.
