Ice Cream Hacks To Try This Summer!

There’s nothing like having an ice cream cone, on a hot Summer day!

Chowhound.com is encouraging you to make your ice cream different this Summer. Check out these ice cream hacks you can try!

• Experiment with new ingredients. Impress your friends with unique toppings and flavours. Edible flowers, honey combs, different varieties of nuts (if your guests don’t have an allergy).

• Run your ice cream scoop under hot water prior to scooping. The metal on your scooper heats up. When scooping, the ice cream slightly melts, making it easier to serve.

• Store your ice cream upside down in your freezer, to avoid freezer burn. The ice cream will slide to its base, and limit air exposure.

• Use a jellybean or marshmallow, place them at the bottom of your cone. A great trick to avoid leaks!

• If you have an almost finished jar of Nutella or peanut butter, drop your sccop of ice cream inside. Stir it up, and you have a delicious treat!
