- If you use a small ice cream scoop your acai ball snacks will be of a uniform consistency (imagine the emojis if we were having this conversation by text!). It was when I was driving home from the shops that I realised I had forgotten to buy said small ice cream scoop and I didn't have the energy to go back again (I hadn't eaten one of these yet, haha!). But if perfection is your thing and you want them all to be a very similar size, then I highly recommend using that to master your technique. Perfection is never something I strove highly for so you will notice my balls are unique in their shapes and sizes much like true free range eggs!
