Storing Leftovers

Since this is an ice cream cake, the leftovers should be stored in the freezer. Wrap the cake well with plastic wrap to protect against freezer burn and to keep the cake from absorbing any other flavors in your freezer.

Freezing Methods

When freezing your ice cream layers, it’s essential to ensure they’re solid before adding the next layer. This will keep your layers distinct and make the cake easier to slice.
