To serve, remove the frozen dessert from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly for a few minutes. This makes it easier to slice cleanly. Use a sharp knife to cut portions. It is best enjoyed immediately after slicing. The layers are designed to be visible when cut, adding to its presentation. Avoid refreezing once thawed, as this can affect the texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional ice cream tubs, this dessert features distinct, pre-formed layers of ice cream and a chocolatey shell. This layered structure provides a unique textural contrast that is not found in uniformly mixed ice creams. The crispness of the chocolate layer is a key characteristic.

How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining dessert in its original packaging and store it in the freezer. Ensure it is tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain its quality. It is best consumed before the expiration date indicated on the packaging.
