    I've been known to take a pint of ice cream which is 4 servings and cut it into quarter wedges. Usually though I just measure out the grams. Talenti gelato sea salt caramel is 1/2 cup or 105 grams. What I thought was 1/2 cup is really about 1/4 cup. Now I get two scoops instead of one.

    That would solve all my problems if our ice cream has grams labeled, but it doesn't. Cups and ml that's it. So I have to put my ice cream in a measuring cup and then weigh it. But I don't know if I should lightly pack the ice cream in the cup because otherwise there is a bunch of space in there.

    I think it's impossible to weigh food that is liquid. mL into grams. I tried it with whipped topping but it's considered a liquid...It's impossible to find it out....I just use my measuring tools when it comes to food like whipped toppings or anything else considered a liquid that looks like a solid. I don't pack it in, I level it off.

    i level it off with a butter knife and don't pack it in. I put small amounts in the cup till it reaches the top and just scrape off any excess.

    I actually weigh all my ice cream/fro yo out on a food scale :) It makes it easier to figure it out and no measuring cups needed!
