When a tub of ice cream melts and becomes liquid, why is it ruined even after you freeze it back again?

When you freeze the ice cream after it melts from store bought and becomes completely liquid, it doesn’t stay the same way. It just isn’t ice cream anymore, there’s no cream, it becomes like frozen ice lolly kinda texture; completely different from the texture it comes in ie. Soft, fluffy, milky, creamy.

The same difference between ice and snow. If you melt some snow and then you freeze it again, you are now expecting to get snow back, are you?
What matters is the fine crystal structure of the iced water: many little crystals in one case, a single big one in the other case.
