How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining ice cream in the original container, tightly covered, in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before replacing the lid. This helps maintain its texture and flavor for future enjoyment.
