Indulge in the classic delight of a hot fudge sundae, a decadent frozen treat featuring creamy ice cream generously topped with warm, rich chocolate fudge sauce and your favorite garnishes. For optimal enjoyment and food safety, proper storage is key to preserving its delightful texture and flavor.
Storage Time
Best consumed immediately; leftovers are not recommended for storage due to rapid melting and texture degradation. If components are stored separately, ice cream lasts 1-2 hours in the freezer, and fudge sauce can last up to 2 weeks refrigerated.
Temperature
Ice cream should be kept frozen at -18°C (0°F) or below. Refrigerated fudge sauce should be stored at 0–4°C (32–40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- Ice crystals forming on the ice cream surface, indicating refreezing or freezer burn.
- Fudge sauce developing a moldy appearance or an off, sour smell.
- Ice cream having an icy, watery texture or an unusual, stale odor.
