Who the fuck has ice cream that lasts long enough to grow frost?

Ain't nobody got time for that frost growing shit!

LMAO - thank you, sir !

Agreed...no ice cream has languished in my freezer long enough to find out!

If you buy the correct brand of ice cream you won't have any problems with frost. I buy Schooep's ice cream because it is the best tasting, and I've never had a frost problem yet.

If you are getting frost on your ice cream you are doing it wrong.

Let see the only times I recall seeing frost near ice cream. And it happens everytime when I pull a very large clear frosty mug out of the freezer. I fill the mug 3/4 full with ice cream. Then add a very cold A&W Root Beer on top of the ice cream in the (did I say Large frosty mug). From there frost and Root Beer foam grow like mad science project. After that I don't know what happens, because next thing I usually remember is the frost is all gone and the mug is completely empty.

Unless you are keeping it in a chest/other deep freeze, you're ice cream will degrade in a few days.

Even in a deep freezer, it will degrade after a couple weeks.

For many years I've done my part to ensure that no ice cream will suffer from frost bite on my watch. Every half gallon deserves a quick and timely eating.

Whenever I open ice cream, it's always a single serving container.....heheehhee

I generally eat the container too.

Hahaha!

First we are protecting our remotes and now ice cream. I can’t wait to see what next needs protection.

I eat it all on the way home from the store.

There is a better way to avoid frost...just buy your own ice cream machine and have it fresh every day.

I use a 92fs for mine

If you can’t kill a pint in one sitting, you should turn in your spoon...

We suppose this is good advice for some, but at our house life expectancy for a half gallon carton of ice cream is short. Generally a carton of ice cream seldom lasts long enough to frost.

As an aside, we consider Blue Bell brand ice cream to quite simply be the best ice cream money can buy. Those of you who have sampled the wares from "the little creamery in Brenham" know wherefore we speak.

We trudge on.

I see that you have never had Cedar Crest Ice Cream.

Yesterday, they announced Blue Bell ice cream is returning to Virginia. I am stoked ! I first encountered it at an Outback Steakhouse. The homestyle vanilla, I'm convinced, must contain cocaine. You just can't stop at one bowl. I have to wait until 2019, so I'm starting to exercise in the hope that I can live that long. By the way, my wife uses the gallon Ziploc bag trick to prevent frost.

There are several good vanilla ice creams on the grocer's shelf. I used to think Breyer's van bean was the best and then I tried Blue Bell homeade Van. It was the best sold in regular stores except for maybe Hagandaz.

Then I tried Aldi's Super Premium Vanilla. Absolute best ever. Only 5 ingredients, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, egg. So dense it takes a garden trowel to scoop and the flavor is perfect. 48oz carton under $4. Only comes in chocolate and vanilla. Aldi has several brands so be sure to get the super premium label.

I don't eat a lot of ice cream, probably twice a year.

But when I did, I don't remember ever putting it back in the freezer.
