Pinterest Pin Test: Softer Ice Cream in Plastic Bag

Thanks to Pinterest, I discovered a pin that claimed “Found a method to keep ICE CREAM soft. It doesn’t have to bend your spoon. As soft as when you first open it, every time.”

If there is one thing I love, it is soft ice cream. Especially homemade soft chocolate ice cream that I made the other day. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if this claim was accurate in any way.

Foodie Test Part 1

Here is the original ice cream that I made that was not put into a plastic bag. You can see a little frost has developed on it and that was just after a day from being in the freezer. The ice cream was incredibly challenging to get out, I had to get Reg’s help but then my hands are very weak.

Foodie Test Part 2

Here is the container that was in the plastic bag while in the freezer. In fact I left it there a whole week. There was some frost at the top but the ice cream below appeared to be untouched. But… How soft was it???

Pinterest Test Results

Success! My spoon easily went into the ice cream! It is not as soft as when it first came out of the ice cream maker but in comparison to having to fight and wrestle and punch to get ice cream out of a container like I usually do, this was a foodie miracle. I could not have been happier and my hands could not have been more relieved.

I would say this absolutely passed the Pinterest Pin Test with flying colours! And lots of good soft chocolate ice cream flavour. I will be doing this from now on. More Pinterest Pin Tests to Come!
