Question:

Is it possible to freeze cashew sour cream, avocado ranch, and other oil-free dressings? My date paste did not stay soft once I froze it as the homeworld video said it would. Was it too liquid?

— Maria Volchyok

Answer:

my date paste did not stay soft once I froze it. as as the Homeworld video said it would was it too liquid. My sense would be yeah, it was too liquidy because once your freezer senses liquid, it might think that it's a cousin of an ice cube or something like that as for freezing the dressings Maria, I freeze everything, you know, I don't like to waste food and but the trick is I freeze it in small amounts. So whether you have silicone Ice cube trays where you have little little jars or whatever. You don't want to freeze in a big thing because then it takes forever to defrost and then you might end up throwing it out. So I would freeze in small amounts date and just remember where it is in your freezer so that you remember that you made that but yeah, I think that's a great thing to do. Yeah.
