How to Keep Ice Cream Soft and Scoopable
Do you just toss ice cream straight into the freezer? If so, packaged bars might be fine, but cup-style pints—like the one pictured—often freeze rock-hard and become tough to scoop. Here’s a super-easy, delicious trick using simple items to keep your ice cream perfectly scoopable.
1. Use a hot spoon
Ever pull a pint from the freezer only to find it rock-solid and impossible to scoop? Instead of waiting around, pour hot water into a glass and dip your spoon for a few seconds. A warmed spoon glides through ice cream so much easier.
That warmed spoon will slice through even the iciest ice cream—no elbow grease required.
2. Keep it in a zip-top bag
Do you store ice cream in the freezer uncovered? From now on, slide the container into a zip-top bag before freezing. This keeps the surface at a more scoopable texture so it’s ready to eat straight away.
Left uncovered, ice cream can absorb freezer odors and take on off flavors. Sealing it in a zip-top bag prevents that, so you keep the flavor pure—two wins in one.
Here’s a tub that was stored in a zip-top bag—you can see a spoon can be pushed in easily. That means you can grab it and eat right away, which is super convenient.
Pair warmed spoons with zip-top bags, and you’ll be enjoying cool, creamy, scoopable ice cream all summer long!
