Originally made for astronauts, this freeze dried ice cream is delicious but only comes in three flavors.

It's crunchy and creamy, it won't melt on the hottest days and can be enjoyed on the coldest days.

Plus, being almost completely devoid of hydration, it goes very well with a beverage, hot or cold.

"Initially, freeze dried ice cream feels like a foamy piece of chalk in your mouth..." [jutta, Aug 10 2006]

At a current cost of about $2.00 for 21 grams, this isn't something you'll be scooping into big bags.

I was going to say this was baked by "Dippin' Dots", but checking out their FAQ page I see:

"Are Dippin' Dots like the ice cream the astronauts eat?

"No. Dippin' Dots ice cream is flash frozen and can still melt if not stored at the appropriate temperature.

"The foods that the astronauts eat during their space missions are freeze-dried and in the case of ice cream, do not melt."
