Lip-smackingly good space food!
Of all the technology created to support space flight, our favorite has to be Astronaut Ice Cream. The idea of ultra-lightweight, freeze-dried, good-at-any-temperature ice cream is pure awesome.
Plus, knowing that you're eating the same treats that astronauts feast upon is pretty darned sweet.
Enjoy the same freeze-dried space food as real astronauts.
Seriously, these are really tasty treats
Astronaut Ice Cream tastes good. Really good, in fact! Being freeze-dried, it certainly has a bit of a different consistency than regular ice cream. However, all of the flavor comes rushing back into the dessert as soon as you bite into it.
Bottom line: If it doesn't taste good, we don't sell it. I think our track record of finding delectable treats speaks for itself, and you can rest assured that Astronaut Ice Cream will pass even the most discerning of taste tests.
Astronaut Ice Cream tastes great... which is why we throw it down hard and we throw it down often.
Freeze-dried = insane shelf life!
The process of freeze drying removes all water from food and extends its shelf life greatly. Keep loads of delicious dehydrated Astronaut Ice Cream in your cupboard, school locker, or office. It's super lightweight and perfectly stable at room temperatures (no melt!).
Simply tear open the packaging to enjoy your delicious space dessert!
All Astronaut Ice Cream features a 3-year shelf life.
The ideal snack!
Dessert is my favorite part of any meal. However, it can be arduous to find something uber-sweet at work, school, or inside a Soyuz spacecraft.
With Astronaut Ice Cream, the search is over! Toss an Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich into your lunch bag, man-purse, satchel, or portmanteau, and you're all set! This stuff is also great for camping, hiking, and tailgating.
Astronaut Ice Cream makes for a perfect snack. Take it in your lunch or keep it on your desk at the office.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Hasn't this stuff been around forever?
Answer: Freeze-dried space food has been used since the days of the Mercury Missions (1959-1963) and has been a mainstay on manned NASA missions ever since. So, it's safe to say that this technology is "tried and true". However, only recently has it been applied to ice cream sandwiches and mini ice cream drops (think freeze-dried Dippin' Dots).
Question: Are these cold? Do they need to be kept in the freezer?
Answer: Nope! Astronaut Ice Cream is freeze dried, which means that they're completely dehydrated (and feel a bit like a cracker) and can be stored at room temperature indefinitely.
Question: Does it actually taste good? Don't lie!
Answer: Yes. It tastes like ice cream, which happens to be the best-tasting dessert known to man.
Question: How long will it last?
Answer: Astronaut Ice Cream has a shelf life of three (3) years. No kidding!
Question: Since they're freeze dried, are they really fragile?
Answer: The Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwiches are quite fragile and it's very likely that they will arrive with a crack or two in them. This is unavoidable. However, it does not at all affect the flavor of the product.
