1. Frequent Thawing

Taking ice cream out and refreezing it makes ice crystals. Always serve quickly and put it in the freezer immediately after scooping.

2. Wrong Freezer Spot

If you store ice cream in the freezer door, it makes its temperature swing. Keep it deep inside the freezer where it stays consistently cold.

3. Not Sealing Properly

Leaving the lid loose or not covering the container properly will let the air in. It can cause freezer burn. So, seal it tightly before storing it.

4. Using Warm Spoons

Scooping with a hot or wet spoon melts the surface a little bit, making ice crystals. Always use a dry, room-temperature scoop.

5. Refreezing It

If the ice cream has melted significantly, avoid refreezing it. The texture and flavour will change. It might also become unsafe to eat.
