Ice cream concoctions ranging from the stunningly simple to the wildly baroque are made easy for home cooks looking to keep dessert creations simple, fun, and scrumptious.

Thoroughly tested and expertly written, these recipes can be made by any cook in any kitchen, with minimal preparation time. The Scoop includes enticing low-fat options and also serves up information on the history of ice cream, guidelines for sundae or ice-cream-soda parties, and ways to personalize desserts with favorite ingredients. Readers will find it simple to serve and mix and match delicious hand-crafted dessertsâ€”many of which donâ€™t even require advance preparationâ€”that top off a meal with an exciting flourish.
