To enjoy this ice cream, simply scoop it directly from the container. It is best served slightly softened, so allow it to sit 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, cones, or as a topping for other desserts. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender until smooth.
