Ice creams are best be kept as cold as possible during its transport from the store to your home. The process of melting and refreezing can cause the ice cream to reduce its smooth texture, which makes it not only hard to scoop but less than delightful to eat.
You should store ice cream in the main compartment of your freezer and you need to make sure the freezer stays well below its freezing point. Items stored in the freezer door are usually exposed to warmer air when the door is opened, and this can affect the texture quality of the ice cream.
