Mother dragged myself and my younger siblings out of bed to watch the first moon landing live. I cannot say I ever watch anything as important on TV since. Mother is still thankfully with us, she turned 100 in November last year!
I've done the candy but have not found the courage to do the ice cream yet. I'm looking forward to trying them this year. A suprise for my nice and nephew...they are going to love this. Thanks for showing us the process. Be safe.
I have done cream sandwiches without wrappers. I learned to freeze my trays ahead of time. I take one tray out at a time and just enough sandwiches for that tray. Put them back in the freezer until time to put in the freeze dryer. I had way less bubbles that way. They are sooo yummy!!!
My Grands love astronaut ice cream! This video reminds me I need to pick up some more ice cream sandwiches when I got to town! Thank you so much for the information and your time! The Great Value brand didn't poof out for me. I cut them in thirds and keep the wrapper on. There were cracks in the ice cream running vertically though, but they didn't fall apart.
Darcy, I love watching your videos. (You have helped me more than I can say with all the dehydrating videos!) You are such a kick! Love the astronaut approach to living! My. grands will LOVE this recipe! All 7 will be lining up in front of Grandma, begging "please, please, please"!
Freeze dried ice cream sandwiches are one of the best foods on the planet! I also like them cut up into bite size pieces before freeze drying them. Heaven! ❤
I have done the mini ice cream cones. I cut the ice cream part off and lay them side by side. It is alittle tall if I don't. I always let my FD run alittle longer on the initial cool down period before I put them in. I usually let mine run for about 30 minutes so it will be cooler and less melting from the ice cream. everyone loves ice cream.
I’ve done ice cream sandwiches once so far. I removed them from their wrapper and cut them into small bite size pieces. I also had some bubbling like yours did. I think some of that is from them melting a bit in the process of cutting. Next time I plan to freeze them for longer. And also have my trays pre-frozen temps as well.
I love Ice Cream sandwiches ... I have never had one that's been freeze dried. I'm betting there are a lot of freeze dried products that I've never had! The more of these videos I watch, the more I want a freeze dryer of my own!
I do remember seeing the moon landing, and as a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. Space ice cream sounds like a dream come true. Thank you for this video.
This looked like fun! Then getting the telescope out added another layer of fun. I don' t own a freeze dryer, but I am enjoying the fun of it all. Blessings.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ice cream sandwiches! I didn't know they come in various flavors, though. I can only imagine how they are after freeze-drying! Thanks for a great video and a great idea.
If you're in Houston, go to the Space Center! I'm sure you've been before, though. I never got to go as a kid, but I bugged my mom for a LOT of freeze-dried ice cream in a LOT of other museum gift shops. They always had it there for some reason, and we spent a lot of time in museums. Nerds unite! This was fun to watch.
I’ve had my freeze dryer for a little over 2 years and I love it! I got the small but really wish I would have gotten the medium size. I may purchase a medium before the end of this year.
This was the first thing I wanted to try when we got our freeze drier but I put it off because it was the middle of summer. Then just kinda forgot about it. This is definitely back in my to do list. Hopefully in 2 weeks.
Live your shirt it matches your content. Interesting to see the ones in the paper package. I wonder if you prefreeze your freeze drier longer it might have helped. I know mine is usually about 50-57 degrees after the 15 minute prefreeze.
I haven't tried the freeze dried ice cream sandwiches yet. There might be some at our Women's Expo coming up soon. I'm hoping to get a freeze drier soonish.
The wrapped ones with all of the ice cream oozed out! So weird. I got my husband a nice telescope after years ago and he and my oldest son geek out all the time. Great video and thank you for the showing the real results.
Your NASA story and man landing on the moon was interesting. I love that you are sharing your astronaut food with your friends. My memory was my teacher telling us our science books were no longer correct because man had landing on the moon. I did not believe her and went home and asked my parents if my teacher was telling us the truth. My parents said that man had landed on the moon. I then wanted to know why I was not told about. I was young and we probably didn't have a tv at the time.
Fun stuff! Tang and space food sticks were part of my childhood, for sure. I'm sure you would have been an awesome asset to NASA. 👩🚀🌠 I definitely appreciate all that you have shared on the web's Earth-bound but virtual spaces over the years. 👏🤩🌎 I now have a freeze dryer, but have not tried this yet. Always more to learn! Thanks so much for sharing your observations and adventures. Have fun with your friends and Happy Freeze Dried February! 😄👍💖
From what I understand, the "ice cream" in those sandwiches isn't true ice cream, but a mix of thickeners, sugars, gums and such. Perhaps making ice cream sandwiches from scratch would work better? I've got 2 trays of cubed chicken and 2 trays of diced potatoes from a can in my freeze dryer right now. I've mostly freeze dried meats.
I've been thinking of trying this but have always chickened out lol. Some of the photos of sweets blowing up and filling the freeze drier is not something I want to experience 😅

Mother dragged myself and my younger siblings out of bed to watch the first moon landing live. I cannot say I ever watch anything as important on TV since. Mother is still thankfully with us, she turned 100 in November last year!
I forgot to add, I use the mini ice cream sandwiches and do them whole.
These are so easy, and my husband loves taking these on his long trips to work.

Thank you for showing the settings needed and tips on drying time. I'm looking forward to doing this.
Freeze dried ice cream sandwiches are one of the best foods on the planet! I also like them cut up into bite size pieces before freeze drying them. Heaven! ❤
I am so excited for this collaboration. I just ordered a freeze dryer and I am very excited to get started.
I use impulse sealer to reseal oxygen absorber to keep them if there is more left after I use what I need.
I remember the first time trying freeze dried ice cream with my kids. Great memories!

Astronaut food, what a fun idea. I know some grandkids that would love these.
I can remember when I was a kid, you could actually buy these--that was in the 1970s--I'm OLD!! Thanks for the memories.
I would do these if I had a freeze dryer.Thanks for showing the close up screen of the freeze dryer settings.I've never seen a freeze dryer before.

Darcy, you always have great information! I was fascinated by your astronaut ice cream sandwiches. Thank you so much for sharing.
I did ice cream and ice cream sandwich’s for the first time time last month. Will be doing more it turned out wonderful.
I love Ice Cream sandwiches ... I have never had one that's been freeze dried. I'm betting there are a lot of freeze dried products that I've never had! The more of these videos I watch, the more I want a freeze dryer of my own!
Thank you, it all looks great!
I love these. I sent these to my brother when he was deployed to the Middle East in the summer time. 😊
Darcy, I'm such a foodie i get so excited to watch your videos, because I know I'm going to learn something new. Thank you
I do remember seeing the moon landing, and as a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. Space ice cream sounds like a dream come true. Thank you for this video.
This was so cool! Freeze dried ice cream sandwiches sounds like so much fun. Thank you, Darci! I totally enjoyed this video.

Fun video! Thanks for the tips/tricks and do's/don'ts for freeze drying. The ice cream sandwiches looked yummy!
I've been wanting to freeze dry ice cream for a while now. I feel that I can do it!! Thanks for giving me confidence.
Perfect timing. We just picked up some ice cream sandwiches at the store to freeze dry. Can't wait to try them!
Looks yummy. I want to make freeze-dried ice-cream sandwiches and cheese cake bites. Thanks for sharing.
this is great for kids great job!
Thank you for being part of freeze-dried, February . Been saving for a freeze dryer
If you're in Houston, go to the Space Center! I'm sure you've been before, though.

I was hoping you were in this colab. I never thought about freeze dried ice cream sandwiches. Thanks for sharing, have fun in Houston.
Ice cream sandwiches is still on the list to try.
Thank you Darcy, it was fun seeing what happens to ice cream 🎉🎉
well that's interesting. i don't have a freeze dryer so it amazed how the one just exploded. and i find the whole process fascinating
This was the first thing I wanted to try when we got our freeze drier but I put it off because it was the middle of summer. Then just kinda forgot about it. This is definitely back in my to do list. Hopefully in 2 weeks.
Harvest Right freeze dryer is on my wishlist!
I don't own a freeze dryer, but want to explore using freeze dried foods. I may explore thrive life.
Like watching this happen.I am on the fence for a freeze dryer.
I just cut my ice cream sandwiches in half and leave them in the paper. Our favorite ice cream is chocolate mint. I just use a cookie scoop for them.
Live your shirt it matches your content. Interesting to see the ones in the paper package. I wonder if you prefreeze your freeze drier longer it might have helped. I know mine is usually about 50-57 degrees after the 15 minute prefreeze.
I think you should have drank Tang with the snack 😊 Love your T-shirt too
I don't have a freeze-dryer yet. I'll check with my extension office if they have one to borrow.
I haven't tried the freeze dried ice cream sandwiches yet. There might be some at our Women's Expo coming up soon. I'm hoping to get a freeze drier soonish.
The wrapped ones with all of the ice cream oozed out! So weird. I got my husband a nice telescope after years ago and he and my oldest son geek out all the time. Great video and thank you for the showing the real results.
How did you determine which freeze drier to purchase? This looks like you could experiment with alot of different foods. This looks great!

how cool
I have been dehydrating for 40 years. I would LOVE to freeze dry, just don't have the funds.
Fun stuff! Tang and space food sticks were part of my childhood, for sure. I'm sure you would have been an awesome asset to NASA. 👩🚀🌠 I definitely appreciate all that you have shared on the web's Earth-bound but virtual spaces over the years. 👏🤩🌎 I now have a freeze dryer, but have not tried this yet.

This looks like fun! I need gluten and dairy free. Do you think it will work with coconut milk ice cream?
I thought this was interesting and would like to do with my grandchildren.
Barry interesting

I wasn't that impressed with sandwiches. Small scoops of high quality ice cream was much better.
