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 ELI5 version is that ice cream contains a lot of air between the ice crystal and thus softer than a normal ice.
When they become liquid and refreeze, it’s now just an ice cube which is dense and hard.
