The time it will take for your ice cream to melt will depend on many things! For example, it will depend on the moisture in the air, the size of the ice cream container, the material of the ice cream container, how windy it is, just to name a few.

Generally, ice cream will take between 15-20 minutes to melt and roughly an hour to freeze. Of course, these timeframes will depend on the size of your ice cream, temperature, and freezer conditions, so everyone will be slightly different.

The melting process can happen really quickly, but it also depends on the size of the ice cream container. However, the usual amount of time needed for ice cream to melt in the fridge is around ten to thirty minutes. For this amount of time, the ice cream will soften, but it will still be cold, therefore, you might still eat it safely.
