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 its creamy texture. It can be served in bowls or cones. For a more elaborate dessert, it can be used as a base for sundaes, layered with toppings like sauces, nuts, and whipped cream. It also pairs wonderfully with warm baked goods, providing a delightful contrast in temperature and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to gelato, ice cream typically has a higher fat content and is churned with more air, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture. Sorbet, on the other hand, is dairy-free and made primarily from fruit and sugar, offering a more intense fruit flavor and icier consistency.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the carton tightly and store it in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming and maintain the best texture, try to consume the remaining ice cream within a few weeks. Keep it in the coldest part of your freezer.
