In the ice cream maker
When the ice cream is ready, you can leave it in the ice cream maker for approximately 10 minutes.
In the freezer
Ice cream has a long storage life. However, a lengthy period in the freezer has a negative effect on its taste and quality. After 1 to 2 weeks, the texture of ice cream deteriorates and the fresh taste is lost. Ice cream is at its best when fresh, therefore it is best to prepare it shortly before consumption. If you want to store the ice cream in the freezer, keep in mind the following:
- Store the ice cream in a clean, tightly sealed container.
- The storage temperature must be at least -18ºC.
- Put the date of preparation and the type of ice cream on the container.
- Do not refreeze defrosted ice cream.
- Take ice cream out of the freezer at least 30 minutes before consumption and place it in the refrigerator. At room temperature, ice cream is ready for consumption in 10 to 15 minutes.
- Sorbet defrosts more rapidly than ice cream.
Therefore, defrost sorbet in the refrigerator for not more than 15-20 minutes.
