This actually happened to me last night. I was looking forward to having a nice bowl of ice cream and all I got was a nice bowl of ice…yuck!! It is just so annoying to find all those ice crystals on your ice cream! So after you initially open your ice cream container besure to put and store it in a sealable plastic bag - this will eliminate those ice crystals from forming! No matter what time of year it is … ice cream is always a good snack!
