Steps

1. 1 Choose a suitable scoop for scooping ice cream. When choosing a spoon, pay attention to the following points:
   • comfortable handle:
     • ergonomic shape;
     • does not slip in the hand.
   • sharp edges (facilitates the scooping process);
   • wide bowl-shaped scooping spoon (for maximum scooping).
2. 2 Heat the ice cream spoon. Place the ice cream tray next to the sink. Place the spoon in a large cup and place it under running hot water. Keep the spoon under running water long enough, for 20-30 seconds, to keep it hot. If you need to scoop ice cream for several people, do not cover the water - let it flow in a small stream into the cup. Heating the spoon will glide better, which will speed up the scooping process.
3. 3 Scoop the ice cream with the side of a spoon. Scoop the ice cream with the side of a spoon in a circular or "S" -shaped motion. You should have smooth, round balls of ice cream. Hurry up so the ice cream doesn't melt!
4. 4 Serve. Once you've scooped up the ice cream, place the scoop on a platter or cone-shaped cup, then dip the spoon back into the cup of hot water and repeat the process. This way you always have a warm spoon to scoop up your ice cream. Ice cream is much easier to remove from a heated spoon than from a cold one. So use it for one or two scoops and then place the spoon back in the heated water.

Tips

• Rinse and reheat the spoon in a container of hot water after each scoop. Keep a container handy.
• Act very quickly so the ice cream doesn't melt!
• Make sure you scoop the ice cream in a circular or S-shaped motion.
• Try making a banana split by placing three scoops of ice cream (better if they taste different) on two bananas (you can use two halves of one banana, depending on the size of the balls) on either side of the dish. Add whipped cream, chocolate syrup and colorful pastry powder, and of course, garnish with cherries on top!

Warnings

• Do not scoop ice cream from a nearly empty container.
