Method
Prepare serving vessel
- 1
Chill a small bowl or serving cup in the freezer for at least 5–10 minutes. A chilled vessel keeps the scoop from melting quickly.
Scoop the ice cream or sorbet
- 2
Soften briefly (if frozen rock-hard)
If the ice cream or sorbet is very hard, let it sit at room temperature for 2–5 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid letting it melt.
- 3
Heat the scoop
Fill your ice cream scoop with hot water for a few seconds, then shake off excess. Warming the scoop helps release a clean, round scoop.
- 4
Press the scoop into the ice cream or sorbet, digging down and sweeping in an arc to form a round scoop. Lift and use the edge of the container or a knife to release the scoop if needed. Place the single scoop into the chilled bowl or cup.
Add toppings (optional)
- 5
If using sauces, drizzle 1 teaspoon of chocolate or caramel sauce over the scoop.
- 6
Arrange fresh berries around the scoop or place two halved strawberries on top.
- 7
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toasted chopped nuts evenly over the scoop for crunch.
- 8
Garnish with a mint leaf and add a wafer cookie, small cone, or spoon on the side.
