How to keep the rest
To maintain the quality of any remaining ice cream, ensure it is tightly sealed in its original container or transferred to an airtight freezer-safe container. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer to prevent ice crystal formation and maintain its smooth texture. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, as this can degrade its quality.
