ice crystals? Is my freezer set too high? We notice that we can only keep ice cream in the freezer for 2 weeks; otherwise it seems to crystalize. Happens on all brands; even home made from a creamery.

Any thoughts / suggestions?

 
Have you...

Have you tried putting plastic wrap/parchment paper directly on top of the surface of the ice cream once opened?

 
I've always thought it is from the freezer going through self-defrost cycles and warming up then re-

freezing. When I had a manual defrost freezer, I kept my ice cream in it and thought it worked better. The refrigerator freezer is the worst.
