It`s time to be honest. If you follow the standard social norms, it comes as no surprise that by now you have been using your ice cube tray exclusively to make ice! But let`s think outside the box for a second. Can a kitchen item be used differently from what it seems to be its standard primary function? The answer is YES and here is a proof for that. The only thing you need to do is be creative and make hundreds of different mini goodies just by using your same old ice cube tray. And remember, just because it is called an ice cube tray it does not mean that you cannot use it to make the mini dessert of your dreams. If you decide to buy a new one, look for a silicone ice cube tray – it will be easier for you to remove items when frozen.
Check the list below to get inspired on how to use your ice cube tray differently.
