What it is

How people cook with it
Ice cream is a popular treat enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to other desserts.
- Scooped into bowls
- Topped with fruit
- Served with pie
- Blended into milkshakes
To enjoy, simply open the container and scoop the desired amount into a bowl or cone. It can be served immediately for a softer texture or allowed to firm up slightly in the freezer if it has softened during transport. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender and process until smooth. It is also excellent as a base for ice cream cakes or sundaes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to gelato, this ice cream typically has a higher fat content and is churned at a faster speed, resulting in a lighter, airier texture. Its sweetness is balanced with the distinct flavor of vanilla.

How to keep the rest
After opening, press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Reseal the lid tightly and store in the freezer. It is best consumed within a few weeks for optimal freshness and texture.
