Ice cream is a versatile, easy to serve dessert for any type of party. One of the most important aspects of planning for a party is determining how much you need to serve each of your guests. There is no way to determine the exact amount your guests will eat, but there are ways to get a close estimate. The age of your guests, their typical appetite, and the amount of other refreshments you serve will all affect this estimate. Follow the simple calculations below and you should know the right amount of ice cream to purchase for your party. Show Estimate the amount of ice creamMake a list of the guests that will attend your event. Each guest will likely eat at least three scoops of ice cream, which translates to about 1 and a half cups. If you are planning a child’s party, two scoops is probably a more accurate estimate. Next, multiply the total number of scoops by 4 ounces, which is the average size of a scoop of ice cream. Ice cream for 15 guests would total 45 scoops or 180 ounces of ice cream. Convert ounces to gallonsNow that you know how many ounces of ice cream you need, convert them to gallons. A true gallon consists of 128 ounces, although many containers labeled as a gallon only contain about 96 ounces. If you are unsure about the conversion for the brand you wish to purchase, simply keep the measurement as ounces. You can also purchase this dessert from an ice cream store to help you get the right amount. Next, divide the amount of ice cream you need between the various flavors you want to serve. For example, if you are serving 15 people and you want to serve chocolate and vanilla, 90 ounces of each is sufficient. With this estimate, two gallons of each would be more than enough to satisfy your guests. KaleidoScoops offers a wide range of premium, hand dipped ice cream flavors and ice cream products.

Q: Can anyone give me an approx number of 5 OZ scoops of ice cream in a 3 gallon container. I’m starting up a new parlor and am trying to get an estimate cost figure on items. A: You ask a great question and it shows real planning on your part to get your math calculated to this level. It’s a great help when doing projections and calculating profit margins. While on the surface this question sounds easy, we have to be careful about mixing measures of weight with measures of volume. One of the elements we need to keep in consideration is that different ice creams have different densities. For example a 3 gallon container of lower-grade ice cream that has less butterfat and more air, will produce fewer 5 OZ scoops than, say, a 3 gallon container of premium ice cream that is more dense. However, if you are measuring volume (cups and gallons vs. ounces and gallons) the question gets easier. The folks at Edy’s ice cream use 1/2 cup as the standard size of a single scoop of ice cream. This is a fairly descent size scoop. There are 96 scoops of ice cream in a 3 gallon tub. However, you might want to trim that down by a scoop to accommodate for any ice cream lost in sampling and serving. To calculate via 5 ounce scoops would require you knowing the density of the ice cream you are planning to serve. This will likely range based on the type of ice cream as mentioned earlier. I hope this helps. Keep us posted and please return with any other questions.  Need Help with Your Website or Getting Online?
