Enjoy your delicious homemade ice cream for as long as possible by storing it correctly. Proper freezing techniques will help maintain its creamy texture and delightful flavor, ensuring a perfect treat every time.

Storage Time

Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months for optimal quality. Beyond this, while still safe, the texture may degrade.

Temperature

Store homemade ice cream in the freezer at or below -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Homemade ice cream freezes exceptionally well. Ensure it's in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ice crystal formation. To thaw, transfer the container to the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Avoid refreezing melted ice cream, as this significantly impacts texture and safety.

Signs of Spoilage

Formation of large ice crystals on the surface, indicating freezer burn and potential texture degradation.
An off, sour, or fermented smell, suggesting bacterial growth.
A change in color, especially if it appears duller or develops unusual streaks, which can signal spoilage or oxidation.
