Let a large container of ice cream thaw for 5 minutes on the counter while you are gathering your toppings.

Snip down the sides with kitchen scissors.

Using a sharp knife, cut the cylinder of your favorite ice cream flavor in half, from top to bottom.

Next, cut the slices into half-moon slabs. With a spatula, place each slab onto a plate and let guests make their own sundaes.

Or, if you’re serving your guests, add the toppings and serve right away!
