Storage

Store your ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. I like to store it in a loaf pan or a container the same shape as a loaf pan. If you don’t have a lid for your pan, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and foil to keep it fresh.

Wendy’s Test Kitchen Tips

  • Due to the fat content in the cream, different brands of heavy cream will give the ice cream a different texture.
  • I like to use Land O Lakes heavy cream for the smoothest ice cream.
  • You can also add in crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, or your favorite peanut butter cups. However, add it after you churn the ice cream but before you freeze it.
  • For easy removal of the ice cream from the container, try lining your container with parchment paper.
