freeze-dried ice cream
Crunchy space treat
Freeze-dried ice cream is ice cream that has been frozen, then had its moisture removed through sublimation in a vacuum chamber.
The result is a dry, crunchy block that doesn't melt or require refrigeration.
It became famous as astronaut food and remains a novelty item at science museums and gift shops: The kids wanted freeze-dried ice cream from the space center.
