How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, keep the ice cream frozen at all times. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent freezer burn and ice crystal formation. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer for best results. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, as this can affect the texture and flavor.
