Serving Suggestions
These bisque tortonis are delightful on their own, but you can elevate them by drizzling homemade hot fudge or fresh fruit on top. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light fruit salad to balance the sweetness. For a fun twist, consider adding sprinkles or chocolate chips as a topping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. If you want to serve them later, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving to ensure a creamy consistency that's easy to scoop.
