How to Store Your Nice Cream
Freezer
Store your nice cream in a reusable ice cream container for up to 1 week. Just make sure to thaw it for a few minutes before enjoying. I don’t recommend making your chocolate nice cream too far in advance as it’s made with whole ingredients and won’t stay super fresh and yummy for longer than 1 week. 😉
Velvety smooth, rich dark chocolate nice cream made with just 4 simple ingredients—the best nice cream recipe you’ll ever have.
