Additional recipe notes
If you’d like to use coconut cream, blend 1 can (14 ounces) of coconut cream with 3 cups of frozen berries. Before placing it in the freezer, cover the ice cream with plastic wrap to keep ice crystals from forming on the top. Keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
