How people cook with it
This ice cream is a delightful treat on its own. It also pairs well with other desserts.
- Enjoy by the scoop

- Serve with pie
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances its creamy texture. It can be enjoyed straight from the container as a simple dessert. For a more elaborate presentation, scoop it into bowls or cones. It is also a fantastic addition to homemade milkshakes or as a topping for warm baked goods like cakes and pies, where the contrast in temperature and texture is particularly appealing.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Then, replace the lid securely. Store in the freezer at a consistent temperature to maintain its quality and texture. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing.
