- Enjoyed by the scoop
- Topping for cakes
- Base for milkshakes
- Filling for pies
Simply scoop the ice cream directly from the container into a bowl or cone. For milkshakes, combine a few scoops with milk and blend until smooth. It can also be used to fill homemade pie crusts or as a delightful topping for warm brownies and cakes. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier scooping and a creamier texture.
