I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do it, actually, but we have had ice cream that developed ice crystals and had to be thrown away (just threw out half a tub). I think it was in there more than a month, though.
I think you probably have about three months if you don’t let it melt and then put it back in the freezer, melt and then put it back in the freezer.
Nothing like frozen sugar and fat . I can not eat ice cream. My wife buys it and when I think about having some ,it is too late. She wipes out a quart at a sitting. She sits a lot.
500 ml is just over a pint in our archaic US measurements. A “standard serving” of ice cream per the package is a half cup, with a pint being 2 cups, so that 500 ml container is only “four servings”.
If you manage to make that last a month, there’s something not quite RIGHT with you ;).
That’s certainly NOT an unhealthy rate, for sure, even if you eat it every day. Even if you had “a serving” (half cup / 125 ml) every day, that’s certainly possible to work into your normal daily caloric intake without weight gain.
Us: Well, the year Moon Unit was born was a stressful one, for a number of reasons. We could have chosen to deal with it using any number of medications, from liquid OTC (alcohol) to prescription (Xanax), but instead chose Breyer’s ice cream. A half gallon would last the 2 of us for 2-3 days.
Our reasoning: No matter HOW shitty the day had been, at the end of it there was always something to look forward to. It helped. It really did.
Nowadays, we’ll get 6-8 servings out of a 48 ounce container (those half-gallons SHRUNK) if we have it in the house.
4 servings to a pint? In Lilliput, maybe.
I like ice cream, but it doesn’t inspire any passion in me. I’ve had a tub in my freezer for six months at a time before finishing it.
