• If you prefer a chunkier ice cream, reserve some crushed paçoca to sprinkle on top just before serving.
• Feel free to experiment with different nut butters, like almond or cashew, for a unique twist!
• For a fun presentation, serve the ice cream in waffle cones or bowls topped with chocolate sauce.
