    Smile Should ice cream be hard or soft?

    I'm sitting here in my home office eating a dish of ice cream that had just reached the "perfect" stage for me- melting on the surface, mushy inside, beginning to pool in the bowl (Blue Bell homemade vanilla with generic choc syrup). And I was thinking- there's something people would argue over. So, why not a poll?

    How do you like your ice cream? Hard as a rock (like the bars out of some WDW carts that must use dry ice)? Or melted into a puddle? Or somewhere in between? Of course with soft-serve you don't get much of a choice (especially when you put it into a hot bowl right out of the dishwasher like at some buffet places).

    I like it between firm, still frozen, and the next stage down, when it's almost ready to soften slightly but not quite. I don't like it as much to be drippy, or hard as a rock. But I'll take it any way it comes. It's ice cream.

    Hilarious. I never ever think about it unless I am at WDW and have a Mickey bar and am about to break my teeth off!!! My DH says I am suppose to lick it, not chew it, but I am totally all about chewing my ice cream!!!!

    Too funny. Everyone laughs at me because I go through all the motions of actually eating my ice cream. I bite into it, then like you, I chew it until it's gone, which usually doesn't take too long.

    I always let mine sit out and melt a little before eating.

    I like mine super soft and on the merge of melting, unless of course it's a Mickey Bar or any other bar for that matter(I don't like to wear it).
