FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does vanilla ice cream last in the freezer?
Unopened ice cream can last 2-3 months past the 'best by' date. Once opened, it is best consumed within 1-2 months for optimal quality.
What is freezer burn and is it safe to eat?
Freezer burn appears as icy crystals on the surface caused by air exposure. It is safe to eat but the texture and flavor will be degraded; you can scrape the icy layer off.
Is vanilla ice cream gluten-free?
Pure vanilla ice cream is usually gluten-free, but some brands use thickeners or flavorings that contain gluten. Always check the label for wheat-based additives.
Can I refreeze melted ice cream?
It is not recommended to refreeze completely melted ice cream as it loses its creamy texture and can pose a risk of bacterial growth if left out too long.
What are the best substitutes for vanilla ice cream?
Frozen yogurt, vanilla gelato, or dairy-free alternatives made from coconut, almond, or oat milk are excellent substitutes.
Does vanilla ice cream contain eggs?
Standard vanilla ice cream often does not contain eggs, but 'French Vanilla' or premium 'custard-style' ice creams almost always include egg yolks.
How can I tell if ice cream has gone bad?
Look for a sour smell, a slimy texture, or an excessive amount of large ice crystals. If it has melted and stayed at room temperature, discard it.
Why is some ice cream softer than others?
The softness depends on the 'overrun' (amount of air whipped in) and the fat/sugar content. Higher fat and sugar content generally results in a softer scoop.
