    The steralized cream can - but not whilst it is in the tin.

    The cream will freeze, expand whilst in the tin, tin will split with sharp edges and be dangerous for fingers.

    There was an interesting article in yesterdays' daily mail about what was and wasn't in the ice cream, i think it said tesco's 74p ice cream was just an oily sludge and most ice creams have no cream or milk and are made with lots of oils. They only have to contain some sliver of a percentage of milk/cream to be 'dairy' ice cream as well .You have to get over the £3 mark for organic ice cream or a good top range ice cream. Or you can buy the tins of cream and make black saturns version!!

    well i made black saturns version today. and it is yummy. it is very filling so very economical. my in-laws like it also.

    i found that by serving it straight from the freezer a small amount of ice cream will last longer and makes it more enjoyable.

    i not gonna make this all the time but i will make it for special occasions and try to vary to flavour as well now i know the basic recipe.

    People are stupid enough to freeze it in the tin.

    I once had a dim friend who bought a one of those stick deodorants and took it back because it made her bum spotty. The shop assistant told her that she shouldnt be putting it on her bum and my friend pointed out that it said 'push up bottom' on it. I also went with her to a baby clinic once and her babys dummy went on the floor. The nurse told her to go and wash the dummy in the toilet, meaning obviously to wash it under the tap, but she actually swished it round in the toilet bowl. How dim is that? I couldnt believe what i was seeing.

    Anyway, in answer to your question yes it is OK to freeze it once it is out of the tin. If your worried though you can always use ordinary chilled cream.
