Our moms did this in the 80s, mostly at birthday parties

Wait, people serve it instead of just eating it out of the tub?

How do I close it properly if I cut part of the ice cream container?

You can put the original lid back on it! As basically you have just shrunk the pot.

Let Ice cream soften in the refrigerator. 1-15 mins for a B&J or other pint, longer for a half gallon brick. Ice cream in a cup should be firm but as spoonable as custard. Serving hard frozen ice cream is a rookie mistake.

LPT: If you are having trouble serving Ben and Jerry's style tub ice cream. Instead of trying to scoop it with a spoon, use a knife to slice a piece of ice cream, and then peel off the ring of cardboard tub that you chopped off with it.
