I scream , you scream , we all call when a lump of melted internal-combustion engine ointment fall to the ground . fortunately , the result to this very serious life problem has been found , thanks to a successfulKickstarteraimed at bringing non - liquescent ice pick to the masses .
Gastronaut Ice Cream was primitively designed for astronauts , to bring home the bacon them with a tasty treat while they ’re off exploring the mysteries of the cosmos . But said galactic mysteries for certain pale in comparison to today ’s big query : What sort of witchcraft did Gastronaut laminitis Robert Collignon use to stop this novel ice cream from melting ?
The enigma is freezing - drying , the summons of speedily freezing something before subjugate it to a high vacuity to get rid of the icy ingredient by turning it into a throttle ( rather than allow it in the product to melt when the temperature rises ) .
treat ice cream in this style is not a blade - new idea , but Collignon is redefining it .
halt - dry ice rink ointment , better known as Astronaut Ice Cream , is “ sold at distance museums and camping stores , " Collignonsays . " I ’ve eaten it my whole life , but it does n’t taste that good because they start with the cheapest ice ointment imaginable . ”
In monastic order to remedy this sub - par preference , Collignon excuse , he has “ sourced ace - premium organic ice pick that ’s made in Brooklyn . You could trump it up and put it on a cone . Instead , I slit it into rectangles and put it into a freezing - dryer for a twenty-four hours . After it ’s freeze - dried , you pop it into your sassing , and it tastes just as in effect as the frozen icing cream it started with — really better , because my enigma is to add a touch of sea saltiness . "
As of mightily now , Collignon has already get up nearly $ 40,000 on Kickstarter — free-base on a $ 9500 goal — to take his military operation to the next level . A $ 12donation to his campaignwill get you two Gastronaut Ice Cream bars of your own , and no need to care about wasted globs of frozen dessert ever again .
