Cardboard Ice Cream Containers
*please see bottom of page for an update on these ice cream containers
"For years I've been searching for a place to buy homemade ice cream containers. Everywhere I looked, it was necessary to buy the containers in bulk in quantities over a hundred! For some reason no one had filled this niche in the ice cream market. Luckily, someone now has!
The sweet bliss ice cream container company has started selling simple quart sized ice cream containers online (and in reasonable quantities too; 25 per package). The containers say "homemade and delicious" on the outside, and it really gets the message across when you want to give someone the great gift of ice cream. The price is very reasonable, at $17.95 per 25 containers. It comes out to a little over a dollar per container, much less when compared to a tuperware alternative that would cost around $4-$5. It's nice when you don't have to bother someone for getting the container back after you give them some homemade ice cream.
Its also very convenient that these containers are being sold on amazon; a trusted online market place. The two reviews that are currently on amazon seem very positive (5 out of 5 stars), and I think all us ice cream makers will really enjoy these reasonably priced containers.
I'm still on the lookout for any pint sized cardboard, or even plastic, ice cream containers. Nevertheless, I think we can all improvise with these until pint sized ones are available. Besides, two pints make a quart, so its not too big of a difference!"
*I have just been informed that the sweet bliss ice cream container company is no longer selling the aforementioned product on Amazon... :(
But don't despair, they've replaced the cardboard containers with plastic ones! And don't worry, they are not any more expensive (they're actually cheaper). Plus, you can reuse these so its a better option for the environment.
One option is 25 of the pint sized containers (lids included) for about ten bucks:
And the second option is 25 quart sized containers (with lids) for about $14:
I hope you can "contain" your joy after buying these great containers!
