To freeze icing, simply place it in a freezer-safe container.
Freezing icing is a great way to save leftovers for future use. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Select a Freezer-Safe Container: A container designed for freezing is essential. Glass containers with tight-fitting lids or plastic freezer bags work well. The referenced video highlights using a glass container.
- Transfer the Icing: Carefully transfer the icing into the container.
- Remove Air: If using a freezer bag, press out any excess air before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn. For containers, ensure a tight seal.
- Label and Date: Label the container with the type of icing and the date it was frozen. This helps with organization and ensures you use it within a reasonable timeframe (typically 2-3 months for best quality).
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer.
When you're ready to use the frozen icing, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, you may need to re-whip it to restore its original consistency.
