There’s nothing quite like a refreshing cup of ice cream on a hot summer day. But if you're trying to enjoy your treat in a busy park, you might find that it melts faster than you'd like. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to keep your ice cream truck for rent frozen for hours, even in the heat. Here are our top tips:

1. Pre-freeze your cup or bowl. This will help keep your ice cream cold longer once it's in your cup. Simply put your empty cup or bowl in the freezer for an hour or two before you plan to eat your ice cream.

2. Use dry ice. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, and it's great for keeping things cold. You can usually find dry ice at your local grocery store - just make sure to handle it with gloves, as it can cause skin irritation. Add a few pieces of dry ice to your pre-frozen cup or bowl, and then top it off with your favorite flavor of ice cream. The dry ice will help keep everything cold without watering down the flavor of your treat.

3. Choose dense flavors. When you're picking out your ice cream, opt for flavors that are dense and creamy, like chocolate or cookies and cream. These flavors will take longer to melt than lighter options like sorbet or sherbet. So if you're looking for a longer-lasting treat, go for something on the richer side.

4. Add toppings sparingly. If you're using toppings like whipped cream or sprinkles, be sure to add them sparingly. Too many toppings can make your ice cream melt faster because they absorb heat from the sun more readily than plain ice cream does. So use toppings sparingly, and enjoy every last bite of your delicious treat!

Wrap Up!

With these tips in mind, you can enjoy your favorite flavor of ice cream on even the hottest summer day without worry that it'll melt before you're finished enjoying it.

Pre-freezing your cup, using dry ice, choosing dense flavors, and adding toppings sparingly are all great ways to keep your dessert nice and cold - no matter how long you spend basking in the summer sun. So what are you waiting for? Grab a cone (or two) and head out to enjoy the warm weather!
