Unikai Soft Scoop vanilla ice cream in a 4 litre catering tub, easy to scoop for buffets, dessert counters, sundaes, shakes and plated desserts.
The square tub has a sky-blue lid with the red-and-blue UNIKAI oval, Soft Scoop in big white looping letters, and Vanilla in English and Arabic beside two pale scoops, a vanilla pod and a vanilla flower. The side panel gives the size as 4 litres, a working quantity for hotel buffets, cafes and party catering. Soft scoop is the useful part: it means the ice cream is made to be scooped straight from the freezer without long tempering. As general background, ice cream becomes more malleable as its temperature rises, and it may be served in dishes, eaten with a spoon or licked from wafer cones. In a dessert section, plain vanilla is typically the most used tub in the freezer. Commonly, it is scooped into cones and cups, set beside warm brownies, fondants, kunafa and apple crumble, layered into sundaes with sauces and nuts, and blended with milk for shakes. Pastry kitchens also sandwich it between cookies and use it to top waffles and pancakes. Dip the scoop in warm water between portions, wipe the rim, and press baking paper onto the surface before closing to keep ice crystals away.
