Scenario A:
They can bring the ice cream out at 12:55 and it's edible at 13:05. Mr Doe likes his ice cream firm and has the choice to chisel away at it at 13:00. Ms. Doe likes her ice cream soggy and has it just right at 13:05. Both are happy.

Scenario B:
They can tray it in the galley and hide it from view at 12:55 and bring it out at 13:05 ready to eat.
