Scooping Ice Cream

Everyone loves ice cream don’t they. I know I do. Not everyone though does a good job of scooping ice cream. So this hub is going to teach you the correct way to scoop ice cream.

How To Scoop Ice Cream

Choose a good ice cream scoop. You will want two scoops. A good one will allow you to make a great job of scooping ice cream.

A good tip is to heat your ice cream scoops before using them. Now take your ice cream scoop and scoop your ice cream on the sideboard next to the sink. Once you have scooped put both scoops into a large coffee cup under running hot water long enough to heat them up - 20 to 30 seconds. The reason for heating your ice cream scoops is that it makes it easier to glide through the ice cream and ultimately speeds up the process.

You should always scoop from the side. You want to be using the side edge of your scoop. When scooping do this in a circular motion, allowing for round, even scoops.

Once you have scooped out the ice cream, place it in a dish or a cone then drop that scoop back into the cup and grab the other. By having two scoops available you always have a heated scoop handy.
