Ice Cream Social for 20 People

An ice cream bar for 20 guests is a sweet and manageable setup. You don't need 10 different flavors; 3 high-quality options (Vanilla, Chocolate, and a Fruit/Sorbet) are perfect. Plan for about 1.5 gallons total to be safe.

Pro Host Hack

Don't scoop at the party! Pre-scoop ice cream balls into muffin tins lined with cupcake wrappers the night before. Freeze them, and serve instantly! No messy melting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much ice cream do I need for 20 guests?

For 20 guests, we recommend planning for about 2 scoops per person. This ensures everyone gets enough, even if some come back for seconds.

What are the best flavors to serve?

The classic trio of Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry is always a hit. For larger groups, consider adding a dairy-free option like Sorbet.

How do I keep the ice cream from melting?

Keep ice cream in the freezer until the very last moment. If serving outdoors, place the ice cream tubs in larger containers filled with ice and rock salt.
