How long does ice cream last?
Homemade ice cream won’t last as long as store-bought ice cream.
Store your vanilla ice cream in an airtight storage container, recycled ice cream container, or zip-top freezer bag.
Try to enjoy the ice cream within a few weeks for the best taste.
What to serve with ice cream
Drizzle your homemade ice cream with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or fruit sauce.
Pair the vanilla ice cream with a fruit crisp or cobbler.
For an impressive presentation, consider serving your ice cream in a store-bought or homemade waffle cone. — allrecipes.com.
