Frozen vs Fresh: What’s the Best Way to Enjoy Ice Cream

When it comes to ice cream, everyone has an opinion—Some say fresh swirls are unbeatable, while others swear by a perfectly frozen tub. But what truly makes ice cream the best? Texture? Temperature? The way it melts in your mouth? Let’s settle this frosty debate once and for all!

Freshly Made vs. Store-Bought: What’s the Difference?

Freshly made ice cream, like Yolé’s swirls, is light, airy, and served at the perfect temperature straight from the machine. No waiting, no thawing—just smooth, flavorful perfection. On the other hand, store-bought frozen ice cream is kept at -18°C, making it rock-solid when first taken out of the freezer. The trick? Let it sit for a few minutes before digging in! Ice cream tastes best between -12°C to -14°C when the flavors shine and the texture is just right.

Yolé’s freshly made swirls aren’t the only thing served fresh—our waffle cones and bowls are also made on-site, offering a warm, crispy contrast to the coolness of the ice cream. And yes, we’ve got a vegan option, so everyone can enjoy the crunch!

How to Store Your Yolé Box Like a Pro

Got a Yolé Box in your freezer? Keep it at -18°C or lower to maintain the texture and quality. When you’re ready to enjoy it, take it out a few minutes before serving for that perfect creamy consistency. Pro tip: Avoid refreezing melted ice cream—once it softens too much, the texture changes and nobody wants icy chunks instead of smooth goodness.

For the ultimate experience, pair your Yolé Box with freshly made toppings or serve it in a warm waffle bowl. The contrast between hot and cold? Next-level delicious.

The Verdict? Freshly Made and Frozen Both Win!

At the end of the day, it’s all about how you like your ice cream. Freshly made swirls are great for instant satisfaction, while frozen options like the Yolé Box are perfect for enjoying at home whenever you want. Whether you go for Yolé Cups, Yolé Tubs, Bubble Waffles, or Ibiza Cups, one thing’s for sure—getting the temperature and texture right makes all the difference. So, fresh or frozen? The best way to enjoy ice cream is however you like it!
