Freezer burn is triggered by water evaporating and then refreezing on the ice cream’s surface.
Here’s how to remove and prevent freezer burn in the first place.
(Freezer burn ice cream is safe to eat since ice crystals do not spoil the ice cream.)
Store Ice Cream Upside Down
Always store partially melted ice cream upside down to prevent freezer burn.
Just check that the top is super snug before you try it.
When transporting, place ice cream in a cooler to reduce the time it sits out.
This step will prevent you from needing to let it melt to be able to scoop it.
Cover the shortened container with plastic wrap and store it immediately.
Whatever you do, avoid storing your frozen desserts in the door of your freezer.
Try putting a freezer thermometer inside to check that it reads 0 F or below.
If it doesn’t, we recommend turning down the dial.
