One of my secret, guilty pleasures in life is eating ice cream straight out of the pint container. It's not just because it's a delicious, indulgent way to eat dessert, it's also fun for me because it's how my dad does it. He is something of a prodigious ice cream eater and so many evenings after dinner he can be found sitting on the living room couch, ball game on the television, with a dish towel swathed ice cream container in hand. His utensil of choice is an iced tea spoon with a hammered handle.
Wrapping the dish towel around the carton has always been a key part of eating-out-of-the-carton equation, because without it, the carton sweats clammy moisture all over the place. Additionally, you have to eat at a good clip, or you run the risk of melting the ice cream beyond the point of refreezing. However, some clever person out there has solved both of those problems by inventing an insulating ice cream sleeve. The Prepara Neoprene Ice Cream Pint Sleeve comes with or without zippers and will keep your ice cream cold and easy to handle. Too bad I only discovered this product after Father's Day!
