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.

When ice cream is being produced, during the freezing process it’s churned to break up the ice crystals as they form, which means it’s not a solid block of ice, it’s made up of thousands of tiny ice crystals.

If you freeze it without churning, you get a solid block of frozen cream.

It’s kind of the same concept as ice vs snow.
