How long can you keep ice cream in the freezer?

About a month in a deep freeze, two weeks in a fridge freezer. It's not as cold....ice crystals will form after that time. If I have ice cream left I will put it in a smaller container so there is not the air inside the box that helps to form the crystals.

If it is homemade ice cream, then a few days is all you have to keep it, so use it up quickly.

Not long if I'm around. Sorry, I just had to inject a little humor.
