Allow the ice cream 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 in traditional ice cream bowls or cones. For more elaborate presentations, it can be used as a base for sundaes, layered with various toppings like chocolate syrup, whipped cream, nuts, and cherries. It also melts beautifully into warm desserts, adding a cool contrast.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard ice cream, premium versions typically use a higher butterfat content and more egg yolks, contributing to a richer, denser, and smoother mouthfeel. The flavor profile is often more intense and nuanced, with a greater emphasis on natural ingredients like real vanilla bean rather than artificial flavorings.

How to keep the rest
After opening, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Then, replace the lid tightly. Store in the freezer at a consistent temperature, ideally in the coldest part of your freezer, to maintain its best texture and flavor.
