why do ice creams form ice crystals when they have been opened and put back in the freezer?
In: Chemistry
Answer: Both water from the melted ice cream, and water from the air that condensates onto the ice cream, freezes when you put the ice cream back in the freezer. The water doesn’t mix back into the ice cream
Nothing is churning it to break them up.
When the icecream is made, it has a paddle in it to incorporate air and also constantly break up the ice crystals to keep them texture creamy. Once it’s at home, anything that melted is gonna refreeze more solidly with bigger crystal formation.
When you open it up outside air that has moisture in it will be trapped when you close the container. The moisture in the air will freeze.
ice cream turns to ice crystals cause it melts a bit when opened. then when it freezes again the water in it turns to ice. it’s like a sad ice spa for your dessert. keep it closed to keep it creamy and smooth.
