Nothing can interfere more with a late night ice cream craving than hard ice cream. We’ve all been there. You open the freezer, take a few seconds to ponder your frosty options, grab a spoon, a bowl and a scoop and dig in. But instead of dipping effortlessly into the soon-t0-be-dessert, your scoop meets what appears to be something resembling concrete.
We’re never sure exactly why this happens, especially since, at other times, your ice cream emerges from the freezer soft as a cloud, but it happens (and usually at the worst possible times). But now there’s a solution: the Deni 5111 electric ice cream scoop! According to Amazon.com, where this brilliant invention sells for $18.88, the electric scoop “cuts through the hardest ice cream with no effort” and “heats up in minutes and retains its temperature scoop after scoop.”
Plus it looks kind of cool (that’s it on the right). One comment from all the comments left on the Ice Cream Journal in February will be chosen at random to win this life-saver. Speaking of winners, congrats to Melanie S., Carol T., and Lois S. for being our January prize winners. Each will receive a vintage looking tin ice cream sign personally signed by Turkey Hill President Quintin Frey and our very own Ernie Pinckney!

Hoping you will come up with a Peanut Butter ice cream recipe with parline crunch and caramel swirl.My favorite combo..Can’t wait!!!! Thanks Turkey Hill Dairy!
we all need this
This is a great idea! Trying to scoop hard ice cream can be tough on your hands.
I’d love to win this!
I decided to check back on this prize since I would really find it useful especially late at night.
Still holding out hope that I can win this.
I usually don’t have time to write on the weekend so this is my last shot. Hope I win this great prize.
We have over 15 inches of snow. That would make a lot of snow cream, but nothing is as good as Turkey Hill ice cream….Think I’ll have a bowl now…Yum !!….
I’m not crazy about coconut cream pie, but I know my family would love this flavor. Also nice scoop.
If I had one of those I would be able to eat more ice cream since it would be a lot of fun to use it and if I’m using it a lot I will be eating ice cream a lot and having to buy more just so I can use that electric scoop.
I missed your peppermint stick ice cream this past holiday season. Are you going to have it this year?
