What can I add to soften too hard peanut butter ice cream? My staff is having a hard time scooping our Peanut Butter Ice cream. It's too rock hard. We make the Ice cream in-house using a 15% Super Premium base.
I want to know what can I add to soften the ice Cream.
Here is the Recipe:

52 oz of liquid Peanut Butter
1 oz Vanilla Extract
2.5 Gallons of Ice Cream Base
We run the ice cream at max level 12 in our Caprigani Ice Cream Machine

The Stabilizers in the Base: Mono &amp; Diglycerides, Cellulose Gum, Gaur Gum, Carrageenan, Dextrose, Silicone Dioxide to prevent caking.
Heat the scoop?

If you are serving lots of ice cream maybe you already have one of these.  If not it might come in handy.  The flowing water warms up the scoop which then more easily cuts its way thru the hard ice cream.
