During Ice Cream Month, Sara Kate lamented the difficulty of finding pint containers for homemade ice cream. Unless you are lucky enough to find small quantities of cardboard pint containers at a restaurant supply shop, they are generally only available commercially in quantities of hundreds or more, and we don't feel like spending $250 on ice cream pints!
But if you want plain pint containers for giving gifts of ice cream or storing your own fresh-churned flavors, there's a new, low-priced option from Sweet Bliss Containers.
Sweet Bliss Containers has a simple business: It just sells plain white ice cream containers. Their packs of pints and quarts are sold in smaller quantities, with 25 containers to a sleeve. Their prices are very reasonable too; they have 25-packs of quarts for $12.95 and 25-packs of pints for $8.95. All the containers include lids.
These could be so useful; we would love to keep a sleeve of pints around to pack up ice cream for other people — especially when we have leftovers after a dinner party. The containers could also be decorated or labeled.
So if you're looking for some storage containers for all that ice cream you're about to start making, check here!

BRILLIANT!
This is great, but I'd LOVE even more to see a re-useable version.
This weekend I discovered an amazing ice cream accessory- pint sized ice cream koozies at Graeter's in Cincinnati! (This means that I also got to enjoy some Graeter's this weekend...as a VA resident this was a rare treat.)
I haven't been able to find them online as they are a new product, but those in the Ohio area should check them out. So fun and cute! :)
quarts are $12.95 not $9.95. plus the shipping nearly double the price. $7.95 for the pints and $9.25 for the quarts.
Oops! Quart price corrected.
Perhaps it's not quite as pretty, but isn't this exactly the kind of thing that empty yoghurt containers are meant for?
Smart and Final (if you live in LA) has them for cheap, and they also carry REALLY cheap gallons of cream and whole milk for ice cream making!
I'm with Tariqata- empty yogurt containers...or sour cream...cottage cheese...Chinese...
I'm with the recyclers above...pint yogurt and cottage cheese containers are perfect for freezing home made ice cream (and everything else). The snap on lids hold tight and stack well in the freezer.
I wish I could find something like this in the UK, anyone know where I could get some?
These may not look like ice cream containers per se, but these are more reusable:

I can also tell you that if you have a Cuisinart ice cream maker, one of those quart-sized containers with the screw top that you can get at the supermarket is the perfect size for the finished product.
we have this ice cream container we bought from the MoMA store, and is reusable!

I made some ice cream a month ago and had the same problem. We just got some of the soup containers from the hot food buffet at Whole Foods.
Has anyone been able to access the SweetBlissContainers.com website?
I've been trying ever since this article posted, and always get a "problem loading page" error, even if I Google Sweet Bliss Containers and click on the link.
