How to save ice cream so the leftover tastes as good as new?

After I scooped out some ice cream from its container, air could get inside and ruined the texture of the left over ice cream. Is there a way to avoid this? I can buy smaller portion, but it would cost more. Thank you!How to save ice cream so the leftover tastes as good as new?
transfer to smaller portions and always keep in the freezer not the door of the freezer, this will cause ice crystals to form and dilute the flavor a little.How to save ice cream so the leftover tastes as good as new?
get some plastic wrap and lay over the inside of the box. or you can transfer to a plastic container. when there was just me and hubby I used to do this. Now i got 4 kids it's lucky to last a night lol
after you scoop what you want take a piece of plastic wrap like you would wrap a sandwich in and put it on the top of the ice cream and push it down with your fingers to push out all the air and it will be real good for a long time
Store the whole container in a ziplock freezer bag and make sure to squeeze out all the air when you zipper it shut. I find that the ice cream cartons with the lid stay fresher than the kind in the square box with the flap, those never close right.
Try to cover or seal it as best as you can. Do not put it in the door of your freezer, where is is subject to temperature changes. Place it near the back of your freezer, this will prevent ice crystals and texture changes.


How do you have leftover ice cream? I always find room to finish mine!
My answer is so simple but swear by it. Tubawear with plastc wrap on top. It's so simple but it keeps my ice cream tasting new. Of course if you wanna keep it in the orignal package you just push in the plastic wrap until it's touching the actual ice cream, then put the top back over the plastic wrap.
Just keep it in the freezer. I've had ice cream that was in the freezer for two months and still tasted good.
