We’ve Been Eating Ice Cream Wrong

Here’s how we SHOULD be eating it according to “ice cream experts”, to enhance the experience…

1. Take it out of the freezer and let it defrost for about 15 minutes. When it’s too cold, the aroma molecules don’t release. And smell plays a huge role in how things taste.

2. Don’t take too big of a bite. Half a teaspoon per bite is ideal.

3. Place the spoon upside down in your mouth, so the ice cream hits your tongue.

4. Roll the ice cream around in your mouth, and pay attention to how the smooth, creamy texture feels.

5. Breathe in through your mouth while the ice cream is in there. The air passing over it helps it hit more of your taste buds.

6. Don’t swallow too soon. 12 seconds in your mouth is ideal.
