Indulge in the delightful combination of creamy chocolate ice cream, crunchy nuts, and chewy marshmallows with Rocky Road ice cream. This classic frozen treat is best enjoyed when stored properly to maintain its delicious texture and flavor.

Storage Time

Best consumed within 1-2 weeks of opening for optimal quality, though it remains safe to eat for longer periods when kept consistently frozen.

Temperature

Store in the freezer at or below -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Rocky road ice cream is already a frozen product and is best kept frozen. If it has thawed, refreezing is not recommended as it can significantly degrade the texture, leading to iciness and a less enjoyable eating experience. If you must refreeze a partially thawed container, ensure it has been frozen solid again and be aware of potential quality loss.

Signs of Spoilage

• Presence of ice crystals on the surface, indicating freezer burn or repeated thawing and refreezing.
• Off-putting sour or fermented smell.
• Unusual texture changes, such as a grainy or watery consistency.
