Ice Cream Scoops For Your Favourite Desserts

By Ginger O’Riley

Ice cream scoops, to collect ice cream dessert is one of the many things we all relish in our family home. During the summer, especially when we arrive home after a long day at work, we like to sit down and relax with our favourite flavours of ice cream. There is always a variety of ice creams in the freezer, helping us survive the hot and humid summers.

If it is an especially humid day, we like to sit on the patio, in our wicker chairs and eat ice cream. It helps one relax and cool down. Sometimes we use an ice cream machine, to make ice cream with our choice of ingredients. We also have a number of recipe books with ice cream recipes.

After a number of years of making our own ice cream, and comparing with ice cream bought from a number of food stores, we mad a review of our options and settled on our favourite flavours. But, we have not settled on the best ice cream scoops, as my husband keeps buying new scoops to try out.

Entertaining Your Family With Ice Cream

Have you ever met someone that is passionate about a certain kind of food? Until I met my husband I would have had to answer no to that question. I have met people that love certain foods or all foods in the case of one of my friends. But these people did not have the passion that my husband has.

He loves many kinds of foods, which is great because he is easy to please when it comes to make meals and he is also willing to try a variety of things. The food that he is passionate about is ice cream. His dream job would be being a taste tester for a major ice cream company.

Ice Cream Served As A Dessert

Due to his love of ice cream we usually have a variety of kinds in the freezer. Also when we are out and about in different communities or cities we have to check out different ice cream parlors. The surprising thing is that he is not overweight. He has a fast metabolism which works in his favor.

Because of his love of ice cream we usually serve it in some form as a dessert when we are entertaining. He likes to have a variety so this requires having several ice cream scoops in the gadgets drawer. I tease him that if he cannot find a job as a taste tester he can get one as an ice cream scoops specialist.

One Drawer For All My Ice Cream Scoops

We have purchased so many different ice cream scoops that I have dedicated one drawer specifically for them in the kitchen. We do not keep all the scoops that we have purchased because some of them just do not work well.

In many of the plastic scoops the ice cream sticks so another utensil is needed to remove it. We have round scoops for when we are serving just a scoop of ice cream in a dish. We have flat scoops, because he prefers more of a slice of ice cream on top of a piece of pie. He bought one scooper that is huge for when he is making ice cream cones.

Ice Cream Pies For Our Guests

I have been able to turn his passion for ice cream into a fund raiser for our church. I have developed several different ice cream pies through the years. I started creating them to serve our guests and they have evolved into quite tasty concoctions.

We are making several of the desserts and having an ice cream social to raise money for school supplies. I told my husband that his passion will help the church community. He is going to help serve and he is hoping that there will be many leftovers.

He is disappointed that the desserts will be cut instead of scooped. He wanted to be able to show off his collection of ice cream scoops.

Planning A Birthday Party

We are making preparations for a birthday party for our princess. She is turning eleven and she loves sitting with her dad and eating ice cream. She has now requested her birthday cake be made of ice cream. I have placed an order with the cake shop down the road, and it should ready for her birthday party.

The birthday party will be on a Sunday afternoon, just like it has been every year, during the summer time. All the children come and play a variety of games. The parents sit in a separate room and come to collect their children when the party is over.

Ice Cream On Christmas Day

Although it is cold at Christmas, rather than eat Christmas pudding, we eat ice cream as a dessert, straight after Christmas lunch. Everyone has their favourite style of ice cream, and I ensure their wish is fulfilled with their favourite ice cream on Christmas day.

When we have dinner parties in our home, we always enjoy ice cream as the final dessert, after my husband brings out his collection of ice cream scoops.
