Freeze-Dried Ice Cream

“For quirky and unusual treats, that lots of party guests will likely want to try, I’d recommend serving them in a way that helps controls portion size.

If you just put these out in a bowl, guest are likely to scoop up a handful, and there might not be enough to go around.

One way to do this is to serve chunks of freeze-dried ice cream on individual tasting spoons (see my post here) or novelty mini treat containers, trays, and stands (see my post here).

You could also–potentially–make these bite-size treats more substantial by serving them with a food pipette filled with dessert sauce or liquor (see my pipettes post here). I haven’t personally tried this, but I think it could work, as long as you’re careful how you insert the pipette so that the freeze-dried ice cream chunks don’t crumble. Perhaps make the initial hole with a skewer or needle.

Alternatively, use as a garnish or topping for cupcakes or desserts served in disposable shooter glasses (see here), dessert cups (see here), mini mugs (see here), or martini glasses (see here).

Note that you can also get freeze-dried S’mores and Jell-O (see links below) or freeze-dried candy (check out my separate post here).”
