Ice Cream

Keep tightly sealed in the freezer to prevent freezer burn and odor absorption. Homemade ice cream may have a shorter optimal freezer life than commercially produced ice cream.

Let ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Warm your ice cream scoop under hot water for perfectly round scoops.

Experiment with homemade ice cream by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, cookie dough, or fruit swirls.

Caramel sauce

Fresh berries

Whipped cream

Storing ice cream in the door of the freezer, where temperature fluctuations can lead to ice crystals and a less creamy texture.

Not covering the ice cream container tightly, which can cause freezer burn.
