8 Cool Tricks for Ice Cream This Summer You Must Try

This summer, try these eight ice cream tips

1_Use parchment paper to prevent freezer burn.

Isn't it the worst thing ever when a covering of pesky ice crystals covers your vanilla ice cream? Fear not, as there is an easy fix for freezer burn: simply leave the frozen treat on the counter for a few minutes. That is all. That is the exploit. Unless, of course, you want to stop the ice from ever forming, in which case you'll need to line the interior of the ice cream container with a sheet of parchment paper. There won't be any more frozen crystals since the paper won't allow the moisture to evaporate.

2_Make custard out of melting ice cream.

You can use the melted vanilla ice cream as crème anglaise, or custard sauce if you'd rather throw away a melted ice cream than slurp it up or add it to your coffee instead of creamer. However, there's a serious problem with you. Simply take a spoon and drizzle it over warm custard that has just baked. That is really delicious.

3_Olive oil and salt.

Yes, that is accurate. You're going to enjoy what we're going to sell you—eating your ice cream with salt and olive oil! Grab a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. This recipe trick will transform your life! Salt highlights the sweetness and olive oil—I'm not sure what it does, but it works like magic.

4_Soft Ice Cream.

Nobody enjoys having to wait for their frozen, solid ice cream to soften. That's a waste of valuable time that you could have spent enjoying your favorite summer dessert. This tip is really easy to use: just place the ice cream into a plastic bag (ideally one that has a zip-lock closure) and squeeze out as much air as you can. There's a double bonus: the bagged ice cream keeps the freezer burn at bay.

5_Use Ice Cream To Clean Your Nutella Jars.

Although this method also works with peanut jars, we cannot support a flavor option that is so subpar. As it happens, ice cream has enough stickiness to absorb all the delicious chocolate that you were unable to scoop out. All we need now is a lifesaver that can remove the ice cream residue that you were unable to scrape off.

6_Avoid Scooping Solid Ice Cream.

When you took the ice cream out of the freezer, do you recall how difficult it was to pierce with a spoon? Obviously, you need to have sliced it with a knife!

7_Fried Ice Cream.

Have you ever heard of fried ice cream? Prepare to throw away all that oil because, if you have an air fryer at home, you can use it to produce a tasty but still unhealthy ice cream snack for yourself. You'll need a rock-hard ball of ice cream that you may roll in cookie crumbs or anything else you have on hand and dip in the batter for your plan to work. After an hour of freezing, take it out and do the dipping process once more. After a few hours of freezing, place the batter-dipped ice cream balls in the air fryer for no longer than four minutes. And voilà! You now have a crispy snack with a flavorful ice cream within.

You have to wait 61 seconds.

8_Hack For Frozen Yoghurt Popsicles.

When it comes to eat-ware for ice cream, cones, and normal sticks are so last year. Frankly, ice cream is too. The new and delectable food, frozen yogurt, is perfect for this, so stock your fridge with it! In the freezer for one hour, insert a spoon into the cup. Hey! You now have a way to keep cool during summer.
