How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the container tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store any remaining ice cream in the freezer at a consistent temperature. It is best to consume the remaining ice cream within a few weeks for optimal flavor and texture. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, as this can affect the quality of the ice cream.
