To best enjoy this ice cream, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It can be served in bowls, cones, or used as a base for more elaborate desserts. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender until smooth. It also pairs wonderfully as a cool contrast to warm baked goods like cookies or cakes.

This makes each bite more interesting and dynamic. It is distinct from ice creams with swirls or fruit pieces due to the specific nature of the crunchy inclusions.
