Oops, I did it again.

The roommate is not home and you went and ate half of her ice cream. She loves you, but she’s an ice cream enthusiast (@me) and you took away half of her happiness. You should replace it, but you’re broke, and probably lazy. So here’s your solution.

#SpoonTip: this works SO MUCH BETTER if you do not eat, like, half of the container. Have a little self-control.

Step 1: Place the container in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Ice cream soup, anyone?

Step 2: Replace the lid and refreeze the ice cream, upside-down, for at least 5 hours.

Tricky.

Step 3: When you remove the ice cream, it literally looks brand new.

As Olivia Pope would say, it’s handled.
