How to store
Short-Term (Same Day): If you prefer a soft-serve texture, transfer the blended mixture to a chilled metal bowl or loaf pan and freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals.
Long-Term (Up to 2 Weeks): Thawing: Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. For a quicker thaw, microwave in 10-second bursts (stirring in between).
Freezer Pro Tip
Store in an airtight container (like a freezer-safe jar or Tupperware) with parchment paper pressed against the surface to prevent freezer burn.
