Indulge in the creamy delight of coconut ice cream, a dairy-free frozen treat perfect for any occasion. Proper storage ensures its luscious texture and tropical flavor remain at their peak.

Storage Time

Best consumed within 1-2 weeks of opening when stored properly in the freezer. If left in the refrigerator, it will melt quickly and should be consumed within 24 hours.

Temperature

Store frozen at -18°C (0°F) or below. Never refreeze melted ice cream.

Freezing

Coconut ice cream is already a frozen product. To maintain optimal quality, keep it consistently frozen. If it has softened, it can be refrozen, but the texture may become icier and less smooth. Allowing it to thaw slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving will enhance its creamy consistency.

Signs of Spoilage

• Presence of ice crystals on the surface, indicating freezer burn or repeated thawing and refreezing.
• Off-putting sour or fermented smell, a clear sign of bacterial growth.
• Unusual discoloration or the appearance of mold, especially around the edges or on the surface.
