## Description

Product Description Freeze drying is like sending food into suspended animation. It looks dry and feels dry to the touch, yet, by simply tearing open the foil outer and popping the freeze-dried block into the mouth (thereby re-hydrating it in the process) astronauts find that, more often than not, the unappetising-looking substance explodes with flavour. All of which makes this authentic all-American astro-snack a technological marvel in its own right. It doesn't look like real ice cream, yet tastes like ice cream. It can even be stored for years without refrigeration, so long as it remains in its foil wrapper. How can this be? Freeze drying is the process that has been applied to astronaut food since the early days when eating the right stuff was as important as having it. It's a fiendishly complex process that can be summarised thus: The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallises. The air pressure is lowered, forcing air out of the chamber. Next heat is applied, vaporizing the ice. Finally, a freezing coil traps the vaporised water. This process continues for hours, resulting, over time in a perfect freeze-dried ice cream slice that keeps the ice cream totally intact, minus any moisture. Amazing. Ingredients Ice Cream Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Nonfat Milk, Whey, Natural and Artificial Vanilla Flavor, Mono and Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan, Annatto (color). Wafer Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Sugar, Caramel Color, Dextrose, Palm Oil, Corn Flour, Cocoa, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Modified Corn Starch, Cocoa, Salt, Baking Soda, Soy Lecithin, Mono and Diglycerides. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions To consume, simply open the packet and eat the freeze-dried ice cream sandwich straight from the packet.

Review: Reviewed unfairly.... - I see some people reviewing this item and giving it a poor rating because they did not like the taste... This bemuses me a little if I'm totally honest. This product consists of a free dried Ice cream sandwich, the purpose of which is to allow this food to be eaten in space. It is not freeze dried because they believe it will make the product better tasting. In my eyes reviewing this product on it's taste is pointless, and bordering the stupid line. Freeze dried products do not taste nice, do not expect it to. I purchased this product out of curiosity, as I'm sure most customer did, and quite frankly, the product is exactly as described, thus my 5* review. Don't purchase this product if you are looking for a tasty meal, you will be disappointed. If you are curious as to what astronaut food tastes like, then purchase this product. Note: It's highly likely that this product will be broken in places on arrival, as it's very fragile and will probably break during delivery.
Review: Great gift but came crushed - Bought as an extra Christmas present for my partner, he was ecstatic as he loves space themed stuff that's unique and fun. He loved it and gave me a bite, but the bar came totally smashed to bits. The ice cream filling tastes like creamy vanilla flavoured custard, and has a texture similar to meringue when you bite it, but if you let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and get some saliva on it, it starts to melt sort of like ice cream. The chocolate sandwich part is also tasty, much like a Bourbon biscuit. Good crunch on it. Altogether it was a great gift, but disappointed that it came so crushed. Tastes amazing, would have looked amazing, but for the price and long wait time, I wouldn't really say it's worth it... :(

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty great as a novelty treat
*by R***N on 28 January 2024*

I’ve never had anything freeze dried before, let alone an ice cream sandwich. I was lucky to receive mine completely intact, the vanilla is kinda overpowering but overall it’s got a great crunch and tastes pretty good.
