I almost forgot that not all ice cream is created equal. I only buy Blue Bell at home, because it’s still sold in full half-gallon tubs, and they don’t whip a bunch of air into it before filling them. It freezes hard as a rock if your freezer goes low enough. I don’t even look at all that other phony stuff next to it in the grocery store.
If your favorite brand is sold in three pint containers, it’s not REAL ice cream, and it will always be soft. Every ice cream connie-sewer knows this.
