How people cook with it
This ice cream is a delightful treat on its own or can be incorporated into various desserts.
- Enjoy by the spoonful
- Top a brownie
- Blend into a milkshake
- Serve with cookies
Simply open the container and scoop the ice cream into a bowl or cone. It is best enjoyed when slightly softened, so allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

It can also be used as a topping for warm desserts like pies or cakes, where its cold temperature contrasts with the heat of the baked good.

How to keep the rest
After opening, cover any remaining ice cream tightly with its original lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer at a consistent temperature. It should be consumed within a reasonable timeframe to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
