To best enjoy this ice cream, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It can be served in bowls, cones, or used as a base for sundaes. It also blends well into milkshakes or can be melted slightly to create a sauce. For a classic pairing, serve a scoop alongside warm baked goods like pie or brownies.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining ice cream tightly covered in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. Store it in the main part of your freezer, not in the door, where temperatures fluctuate more. This helps maintain its optimal texture and flavor for future enjoyment.
