I learned that it becomes solid because dehydration and oxidation(being exposed to air) occur.
This condition is called freezer burn.
To keep it in the best consistency, store it in the back of the freezer.
When small ice crystals melt and refreeze, they can turn into large unpalatable lumps.
5 Use an air-tight containers for storing
Air is also responsible for freezer burn.
The best way to store ice cream is by using freezer freezer-safe air-tight container.
As you finish the ice cream, transfer it to a smaller container.
Smaller containers mean less ambient air, which means less risk of freezer burn.
7 Prevent flavors from mixing
Keep an open box of soda in the freezer.
It will absorb all the strong odors from other food ensuring your ice creams flavor is at its best.
