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.

Everyone here is getting excited about ice crystals. The truth is there is a massive amount of air whipped into commercial ice cream. Air makes it seem “creamy” without having to put in all that pesky cream. And there’s enough gums, sugars and stabilizers in commercial ice cream to limit the ice crystals.
How do I know this? because I’ve eaten plenty of re-frozen ice cream and it had shrank to half the original size of the tub and it wasn’t crystalline at all.
