so, hear me out, when the ice cream is frozen too hard, microwaving it for like 5 - 10 seconds can really get it soft and melty in a good way - especially around the edges. Also makes it easier on your wrists to scoop out.
Not suggesting you microwave it into a soup like Bale, but microwaving ice cream is a hack I have long resisted but have turned to in times of need.
that’s like what normal people do, but I married into a family that is very creative about their ice cream
my father in law takes the ice cream out of the tub and uses a chef’s knife to cut it into portions, for example
my partner is the one who taught me to microwave ice cream
and tbh, it’s much harder to get the tap hot enough and to wait for the water to heat the scoop than it is to just microwave the tub for 5 - 10 seconds.
Fun fact. One of the older ice cream scoops invented was hollow aluminum filled with liquid. The theory was as your hand waremd the metal then the water, the scoop portion would be warmed, thus enabling easier scooping!

I usually just run the scoop under hot water for a few seconds, usually cuts right through the ice cream.

It’s horrible, I know.
Cutting it into portions allows you to make almost anything into an ice cream sandwich.
Cuz now you got ice cream slices.
You can even have an ice cream steak.
Cutting is brilliant
I have never once thought I needed to cut my ice cream with a fucking knife, lol
I did it once while I was stoned and has some sugar wafers on hand.
Made sugar wafer ice cream sammies 5/7 no notes.
perfection ✨
It was a good choice.
well, now I have to try it
That looks awesome ngl
I made stroopwaffel ice cream sandwiches once. Bliss in the form of coronary disease.
