Ice cream takes around 3 to 4 hours to freeze.

If your ice cream has not frozen within 4 hours then the freezer may not be set cold enough or it may not be working properly.

If your freezer is working properly and is cold enough the ice cream should freeze fully within 4 hours.

If its freezer is not cold enough for ice cream, that can be a sign that your fridge isn't operating properly.

Ice cream is not as dense as other frozen foods, so it thaws readily and acts as an early-warning system before your other foods have a chance to spoil.

Can you eat freezer burnt ice cream?

Yes you can eat freezer burnt ice cream although it may not be as tasty but it's still safe to eat the freezer burnt ice cream.

While freezer burnt ice cream isn't unsafe to eat, it's not exactly appetizing, either.

“Freezer burn does not make food unsafe.

Heavily freezer-burned foods may have to be discarded for quality reasons,” the USDA states.

Freezer burned ice cream is completely safe to eat.

Freezer burn only alters a food's taste and texture, so there are no food safety issues to worry about with freezer burned ice cream.
