Before serving this ice cream, it must be put in the refrigerator for thirty minutes. Melted ice cream can no longer be frozen. When thinking about how to properly serve ice cream, it will not be superfluous to know:

How to serve ice cream tasty and beautiful?

There is probably no such person on the planet who would not like ice cream. This is the most popular dessert in the world. In the heat, it cools, and in the cold, it gives memories of summer. Ice cream is tasty on its own, but it is also used as a basis for creating more complex desserts. This is true when it comes to a special occasion, whether it is a solemn feast, a children's birthday, a friendly party or a romantic meeting. In such a situation, you want to serve ice cream in a special way - beautiful and unusually tasty.

How to serve ice cream if you want to add variety or impress? We bring to your attention a few ideas.

How is ice cream served to children and adults?

Ice cream is most often served in the form of balls. Use a special ice cream scoop with a pusher for this. It looks something like this:

Before preparing a dessert for guests, it is worth practicing. Place a bowl of clean water nearby and dip your spoon into it before scooping up the ice cream.

If there is no special spoon for ice cream, it can be put into bowls in the usual way or squeezed out of the bag with a pyramid. Slightly softened ice cream should be put in a tight plastic bag, cutting off one corner of it.

If you want to serve ice cream less casually, put it not in bowls, but, for example, in martini or cocktail glasses.

You can serve ice cream in plates, but always with a side.

Ice cream in bowls, glasses and plates is supplemented with fruits, berries, syrups, chocolate icing, chocolate chips, multi-colored dragees, nuts, biscuit slices, etc.

How to serve ice cream in an original way?

1. Ice cream in "cups" of fruit

This way of serving ice cream is very popular in the West. This is how children and adults are treated at home holidays.

The most commonly used are oranges. You need to cut off the top and discard it, then gently scoop out some of the pulp of the orange with a spoon to form a cavity. Prepare the required number of orange "cups", then put a scoop of ice cream into each of them or fill the "cups" with ice cream using a spoon. On top, you can pour an orange with ice cream syrup, chocolate icing or caramel.

Fill apples, lemons, peaches and small melons in the same way. Apples can be either fresh or lightly baked. It is better, of course, to bake them a little so that they become softer. This will make it easier to remove the core, making room for ice cream. And the apple itself will become sweeter. Apple ice cream is usually topped with caramel and sprinkled with nuts.

How to make caramel for ice cream? Take one glass of sugar, a tablespoon of water and a glass of heavy cream. Pour sugar into a saucepan, add a spoonful of water, put on fire. Stir until the mass becomes brown and the consistency of thick caramel. After that, you need to remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour in a glass of cream very carefully. Mix well until you get a smooth caramel. You can add a little vanilla if you like. Drizzle ice cream with cooled caramel.

2. Funny balls: serving ice cream to children

Ice cream balls can be originally decorated with fruits and berries. For example, depict a funny muzzle of an animal or an unknown creature using berries, dragees, fruit slices.

Ice cream desserts for kids

Using apple tails or sprigs of mint, as well as syrup or icing, you can give the ice cream balls a fruity look. For example, make balls of red and yellow ice cream, lightly pour yellow syrup over yellow, then stick ponytails or twigs on top. Ice cream apples are ready! Children love such miracles with products.

For Halloween, ice cream scoops can be turned into... eyes. Terribly delicious. You will need circles of fruits or berries, dragees to simulate the pupil and red jam syrup.

3. Ice Cream Shake: serving ice cream to kids and adults

Ice cream can be served in the form of a cocktail, decorating it accordingly. For example, to prepare an ice cream Mojito cocktail, you need to take white or green green ice cream and arrange it in glasses, on the bottom of which lime or lemon slices and mint leaves are laid. Pour in some mint or lemon syrup. Top the ice cream with lime and mint. For greater similarity, you can insert a cocktail umbrella into the glass. Serve such a "cocktail" with a high spoon.

Similarly, you can prepare other "cocktails" with fruits, berries, cookies.

4. Maybe a cup of coffee?

How to serve ice cream in an original way? For example, disguising it as coffee. You need to take coffee pairs (preferably with a themed coffee design), put chocolate or coffee ice cream in cups, and do not forget about spoons. Ice cream can be garnished with chocolate chips and coffee beans.

On flat pastries (cake, biscuit, etc.), you can not apply cream, but put ice cream. Ice cream is squeezed out of the bag or placed in a ball. Fill with ice cream and tartlets.

Summer is a traditional time for soft drinks and ice cream, which both adults and children eat in large quantities. But remember - ice cream is not only eaten in the form of a popsicle or a crispy cone on the street on a hot day. It can be an excellent dessert or one of the dishes at a summer party that you can arrange by inviting guests. And then there is the question of decorating ice cream, which should not only be tasty and refreshing, but also “delicious” from a visual point of view.

Method one: decorate with fruit

Add some extra flavor and beauty to your ice cream with a handful of berries or small pieces of fruit that you have or buy specially for this. It can be raspberries, strawberries Strawberries: useful properties and contraindications of your favorite summer berry , strawberries, kiwi, tangerine slices Useful properties of tangerine and contraindications for delicious citrus .

Surely you are used to serving ice cream in small cups or bowls. Try changing your mind about your dessert utensils by putting ice cream in champagne glasses, large china spoons, egg cups, and other containers you have at home. Of course, they can also decorate ice cream with fruits, years, syrup.

Method three: citrus fantasies

If you are used to dusting ice cream with powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, take a step towards a truly summer “design”. As a decoration, which, moreover, has a piquant taste and aroma, you can use the zest of citrus fruits - lemon, orange, lime. If you do not like sour, grate the zest on a fine grater and mix with small grains of sugar.

Method four: sweet chips

The combination of ice cream and chocolate is a dessert classic, and making it a reality at home is very simple, and it’s not at all necessary to pour ready-made chocolate syrup into ice cream or mix it with crumbs. Take the chocolate that is more to your liking (bitter, dark, milky, white) and cut off the “chips” of small thickness with a sharp knife. To make decorations, you need the chocolate to be not too soft, otherwise you will get shapeless pieces, and also not very cold and hard, because it will crumble and cut badly. Vary the temperature - put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up or let it sit for a while to soften and become more pliable.

Method five: citrus clothes

Citrus fruits can also be a great "dishes" for ice cream. To do this, you need to take, for example, an orange, cut it in half to carefully remove the pulp with a spoon, then fill the peel, which remains in the shape of a hemisphere, with ice cream, decorate and put in the refrigerator until the guests arrive.

Are you used to serving ice cream in bowls? Experiment! Place the ice cream in short glasses or small colorful bowls. Do you have clear glassware? Put ice cream in a saucer in a slide, decorate it with candied fruit, pieces of fruit, a mint leaf, pour over with syrup.

The second way: unusual design

In a plate or saucer where the ice cream is, squeeze a beautiful mound of whipped cream from the can next to it and make an unusually delicious design. Sprinkle the edges of the plate with fresh orange or lemon zest mixed with sugar, and decorate with a few thin slices on top. Depending on the type of ice cream, it can be decorated with nut crumbs, raisins, thin slices of dried apricots or prunes, biscuit pieces, fruit, syrup. This decoration of ice cream will give it a special aroma and piquant rich taste.

The third way: decorating with fruits and berries
Summer is the time for different berries and fruits, so why not give ice cream a special, colorful look? A handful of raspberries, strawberries, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, peach slices or apricots will make a cool dessert bright and fragrant. In winter, you can decorate with tangerine slices, slices of kiwi, orange, banana or grapes.

Fourth way: chocolate and ice cream
The classic reception of chocolate and ice cream attracts many lovers of this delicious dessert. You can decorate ice cream at home very simply. Firstly, you can beautifully decorate ice cream with chocolate chips by rubbing black or milk chocolate on a grater. Secondly, a chocolate bar can be cut with a sharp knife into thin chips. You will get an original decoration, especially if you use dark and white chocolate. The third way is to melt the chocolate in a steam bath and gently pour over the ice cream. You can water from above or alternating layers and cooling. The fourth option is to buy chocolate mousse and pour it over ice cream.

Fifth way: citrus temptation
Citrus fruits can be excellent utensils if cut in half and carefully scooped out. Fill the middle of the hemisphere with vanilla or cream ice cream and decorate the top with thin slices of orange, a slice of kiwi and a mint leaf. Such unusual dishes can be made not only with an orange, but also with a lemon.

Everything is insanely simple and very clear. We take lemons or oranges and thoroughly (even with soap) wash them under a stream of running water. And be sure to pour boiling water over them. Then we cut them in half and take out the core, which you can just eat or squeeze out the juice, or you can use it in the recipe for some delicious homemade cakes.

When the citrus halves are completely cleaned of the insides, we simply take the ice cream and beautifully lay it out in them.

We insert beautiful small spoons into the dessert and serve the ice cream to the table until it melts. Agree that such a presentation can significantly cheer up and certainly surprise your guests! To be honest, no one has ever treated me to ice cream in this form before. Perhaps this idea will be fresh and new for you too! Of course, not every housewife will want to transfer so many lemons just to serve ice cream in them, but when you suddenly need lemon or orange juice for some other recipe, on the contrary, why waste goodness and throw the skins into the trash can? We will kill two birds with one stone - and prepare a dish with citrus juice, and serve ice cream beautifully! By the way, it will look even more beautiful and colorful if you serve half of the servings of ice cream in orange halves, and the second part in lemon halves. The combination of orange and yellow will cause only the most positive and pleasant emotions in your guests and loved ones! You liked the idea! How else do you serve ice cream?
