- Scooped into bowls
- Topped with fruit

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 is perfect for a simple dessert served in a bowl, or it can be used as a base for more elaborate creations. Consider adding fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture. It also pairs wonderfully with warm baked goods, providing a delightful contrast in temperature and taste.
