 ever put the ice cream in the bowl and then stir it until it gets yes i do it all the time i do it all the time but i do not microwave my ice cream i think that is a sin if you're going to get your ice cream soft put the scoop underneath boiling hot water and keep on dipping it it's too much work because if you do it hurry up you just leave it on the counter just leave it on the counter for 10 minutes
