To enjoy this ice cream, simply remove it from the freezer and let it soften slightly for a few minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances its creamy texture. You can serve it in bowls, cones, or use it as an ingredient in more elaborate desserts. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and blend until smooth. It pairs well with warm baked goods, adding a cool, rich contrast.
