When I was a kid, I had some ice cream that was too goddamn cold, and I asked my mom to put it in the microwave for a few seconds.
Everyone laughed at me.
I'm still pissed off about it.
- CTDOCodebases 10mo agoDon’t be pissed. You the one sentient being in a family of NPCs (no offence). I always microwave my ice-cream. People freak out when I tell them I do this. Another thing people freak out about is when I tell them I sprinkle instant coffee on supermarket bought vanilla ice cream. The (too) sweet ice cream balances with the bitter coffee and it adds a textural element.
- crazygringo 10mo agoInstant coffee is clever. Another great thing to sprinkle is a thin layer of cocoa powder on chocolate ice cream -- it's similarly bitter, but it's a blast of extra chocolate rather than coffee. Learned that one in Italy.
- CTDOCodebases 10mo agoI've tried that before but I found that the texture was a bit chalky and if I somehow inhaled it then it would cause a coughing fit. Thinking back I probably just put too much of it on the ice cream. Thinking more it would be interesting to maybe add a little chili powder to the cocoa powder.
- crazygringo 10mo agoYup it's incredibly easy to overdo it. Think more like a dusting, not a layer. Chili sounds awesome I should try that.
