How Long Does Ice Cream Cake Last?
Ice cream cake is one of the best combinations in desert history. Two classic foods enjoyed by virtually everyone served as one dish. What a novelty! Not only is ice cream cake great the first time, but it’s also great for leftovers! Since it’s frozen by nature, storing it for a snack at a later date is a breeze! So how long does ice cream cake last anyway?
Freezing Ice Cream Cake
In general, ice cream cake is usually good for about a week in the freezer. You can make your ice cream cake last longer by storing it in air-tight plastic, which lets it freeze faster than glass and keep out potential contaminants. To keep your ice cream cake even more protected, it’s good to add an extra layer of freezer wrap or plastic bag when possible.
One downside to ice cream cake is that it’s… well… ice-based. This makes it extremely susceptible to freezer burn. The upside? Freezer burn isn’t as bad for ice cream cake as it is for other foods. If you’re okay with the cake part forming more of an ice cream consistency, you’ll hardly notice a difference.
Conclusion
Since ice cream cake is ice cream-based, storing it in the freezer is a pretty straightforward process. It usually lasts about a week as a general rule. However, it’s always best to know the food and freezer well, to make a more accurate judgment. Most of us have had ice cream stored for much longer than a week, and there’s nothing wrong with it. In fact, eating properly stored ice cream cake that’s a few weeks old probably won’t kill you. But the original consistency is greatly diminished after more than a week. At the end of the day, it’s always best to use cautious judgment about if a food is still good or not.
