Pre-Scoop Your Ice Cream for Parties
If you’re having a party and you’re serving up ice cream for dessert, the last thing you want to be doing is wearing out your wrist scooping to order. Whether it’s serving ice cream to a bunch of children at a birthday party, or adding a scoop to a yummy cobbler at a grown-up affair, have your ice cream at the ready!
1. Line a muffin/cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
2. Scoop a perfect scoop into each hole.
3. Cover with cling film and freeze.
Slice Your Ice Cream Pint for Perfect Sandwiches
You know when you’re making an ice cream sandwich, and squishing a round ball of ice cream between two flat cookies just gets a little messy? How about a flat, cylindrical slice of ice cream instead?
1. Using a serrated knife, slice a disc of ice cream from your pint. Slice right through the paper container for easy handling.
2. Place the disc on your cookie, and peel off the paper.
3. Top with another cookie!
Swap Out Cookies for Cinnamon Buns
Take your ice cream sandwiches to the next level with cinnamon buns!
1. Slice a cinnamon bun in half lengthwise using a serrated knife.
2. Place a scoop or slice of ice cream on one half and top with the second - yum!

Keep Ice Cream Frost-Free and Scoopable
