“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” In The United States, many Americans love frozen desserts such as ice cream, frozen yogurt, and gelato. In fact, 90% of households in the United States eat these sweet desserts! Additionally, Americans consume ice cream about 28.5 times each year! However, ice cream lovers can’t consume ice cream with their hands. Our fingers would freeze! And, although eating out of an ice cream carton is acceptable in your own home, ice cream lovers need something to place their ice cream in. It’s a home for your frozen treat. Think of the spoons and containers you see in ice cream shops. If you’re an owner of an ice cream shop, or an ice cream lover, here are three supplies you need for your ice cream:
Ice Cream Spoons
Now, you may believe that you can use any spoon for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and gelato. However, that is not the case. There are a variety of different types of spoons for ice cream. Let’s begin. First, spoons have varying weights. You can purchase a featherweight spoon, a middleweight spoon, a light heavyweight spoon, and a super heavyweight spoon. Each of these spoons vary because of the texture and creaminess of the ice cream. For example, featherweight spoons are ideal for milkshakes or frosty like products (if you’re a person who eats some of it with a spoon and the rest with a straw). However, super heavyweight spoons can be used on hard, frozen ice cream. Whatever the texture and creaminess of the ice cream may be, there’s a spoon for it!
Ice cream spoons also come in a variety of colors. From pinks, to yellows, to greens, to purples, you can purchase spoons from any color of the rainbow. This makes the ice cream experience fun for children. They can pick their favorite colors! Adults can, too! Additionally, ice cream spoons also come in wooden form and color changing form. The color changing spoons are very unique! They change colors once you place your spoon in the cold ice cream! It is important to note that ice cream spoons also come in a variety of shapes and sizes for frozen yogurt and gelato. In fact, you can purchase specific spoons just for those frozen treats.
Ice Cream Cup
An ice cream cup is an important part of the ice cream experience. As previously mentioned, you need something to place your ice cream in. This is where an ice cream cup comes in handy. Similar to ice cream spoons, there are different types of ice cream cups in varying sizes and weight. Some smaller ice cream cups (8 oz) can only hold a few scoops of ice cream and some toppings. However, larger ice cream cups (12 oz) can hold two and a half scoops of ice cream and some toppings. An ice cream cup also comes in different types of paper. Many ice cream cups are made of FDA approved paper. Additionally, recyclable, eco-friendly ice cream cups are available. Eco-friendly compostable ice cream cups are ideal for ice cream and helping the environment. It’s printed with soy ink, so it does not damage the environment. There are also separate cups that you can purchase for gelato. However, these ice cream cups are great for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and gelato!
Ice cream cups come in many colors and patterns. You can choose from vibrant orange, blue, red, stripes, and polka dots. Pick your favorite color and pattern and you’re good to go! Ice cream cups also come in different prints for various holidays. You can purchase jack-o-latern cups and ghost cups for Halloween and Halloween parties. You can purchase snowflakes for winter parties. You can purchase Santa Clause cups, presents, trees, and candy cane cups for Christmas and Christmas parties.
Dessert To Go Supplies
Sometimes you can’t eat ice cream in an ice cream shop. An employee will pack up your frozen treats in a to go container. To go containers come in a variety of sizes and colors. Additionally, these containers do not have vent holes so the ice cream stays frozen.
