Storage Time

Peanut butter ice cream is best enjoyed fresh. Once opened, it should be consumed within 1-2 weeks when stored properly in the freezer to maintain optimal quality and prevent freezer burn. It is not recommended for refrigeration.

Temperature

Store frozen peanut butter ice cream at or below -18°C (0°F) to ensure its frozen state and prevent spoilage.

Freezing

While peanut butter ice cream is already a frozen product, it can be refrozen if it has thawed. However, refreezing can significantly impact its texture, leading to a coarser, icier consistency. If you must refreeze, ensure it is done quickly after thawing and store it in an airtight container to minimize further quality degradation. For best results, consume within 1-2 months after refreezing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Presence of ice crystals on the surface, indicating repeated thawing and refreezing or prolonged exposure to air.
• Off-putting, sour, or rancid smell, a clear sign of bacterial growth or fat spoilage.
• Significant changes in texture, such as a watery or mushy consistency, or a hard, icy block that was once creamy.
