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 on its own in a bowl or cone, or incorporated into various desserts. For a richer experience, it can be blended into milkshakes or used as a topping for cakes, brownies, or fruit crumbles. Its dual flavor profile makes it versatile for different palates.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining ice cream tightly covered in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before replacing the lid. This helps maintain its smooth texture and flavor for future enjoyment.
