- Let mixture cool: Remove from heat, pour mixture in a shallow dish and allow to cool.
- Shape ice cream: Remove ice cream from freezer, scoop out desired serving size (you should be able to get about 8 individual servings, or 4 big restaurant size sharing servings) and shape into a ball with clean hands.

- Let set: Freeze for 10 – 15 minutes to re-solidify ice cream, keep frozen until ready to serve. Add toppings just before serving.
