I remember a country store where we stopped and bought ice cream sandwiches. The freezer was old and failed to keep them hard. They were "soft-serve" texture, and melted quickly. The cake would stick to your fingers and was the final treat, scraping it off with your teeth and locking the cream from your hands and fingers. Of course, you washed your hands and face at the roadside puddle, while watching the tadpoles scuttle. Memories!😂
When my kids were small, I added gelatin to popsicle juice before freezing to reduce dripping. For homemade ice cream, a little plain gelatin, xanthan gum, or agar agar added to the milk also keeps the drips at bay. Ice cream will still melt but it's not as messy.

It is not about emulsification. They mix thickeners, to make water thick. Then lots of air. Air and water are cheap, so that is what the industry uses to the maximum.
That’s what Dairy Queen’s soft serve is, just air and water and basically no ice cream. The ice cream industry has a certain percentage of dairy but it has dwindled quite a bit in the past decades according to food scientists
Kinda the opposite. Expensive ice creams get their texture from a lot of emulsified fat. Egg yolks are often used as the emulsifier. Cheap ice creams typically have much less fat and really more on thickeners for their texture
I wonder if it also has to do with air content. A lot of cheaper icecreams are like 50% air, making them essentially a foam, whereas nicer icecreams are denser and more full of milk fat. I imagine them being foam could help explain why they keep their shape, whereas a mostly fat and water mixture is going to turn to liquid faster. The Klondike sandwich looked more like decent icecream, while the other 3 looked like foam before and after melting.

I remember working at Walmart years ago and finding a room temperature box of ice cream sandwiches lying on top of a display of women’s t-shirts. I picked it up to bring to the back room for disposal, fully expecting the box to leak, but it didn’t and the sandwiches inside looked fresh from the freezer when we were throwing them out. Didn’t eat an ice cream sandwich for years after.
Anyone else remember ice cream day at school? Ours was Friday, you got to choose from an ice cream sandwich, a drumstick, Fudgsicle, or a Push Up for 25 cents.
The school district local to me has ice cream every day. $1.25-$1.50. My son is now homeschooling but he got ice cream often. It was elcheapo crap though.
We have a brand in Canada called “No Name”. When my daughter was a toddler she left her ice cream sandwich out in our family room and it wasn’t notice until 48hrs later was still intact with no melted mess behind. We stopped buying them.
There's nothing wrong with them. It was made with carrageenan, an extract from seaweed that's used for thickening in various "creamy" products, e.g. the cream part of sandwich biscuits. Someone found out that they could "freeze" it and then sold it as ice cream. It's edible, it's seaweed after all. But some people may think it's unusual.

This is amazing. I don't remember how I got here. And I stayed awake watching almost all of a video about melting ice cream sandwiches. But I'm glad I did.
Schwann’s has the best ice cream sandwich’s ever. The cookie part is fresh and crisp, the ice cream isn’t just frozen cool whip. My mother in law always had these.
I was a cook at a nursing home. They had a dairy dessert cup that didn't melt. It was made for people on a fluid restricted diet and those on a puree diet

@@katsu9582 it's for people with swallowing disorders or certain stomach disorders. It's not a diet type diet. My child was on a type of one for a couple of years.
That happened to me years ago. The Walmart icecream sandwiches fell out of the grocery bag, in my van on a hot summer day. I found them the next day. No mess, not melted.
Picture this. One of my experiences in my sub-teen years. Bakersfield California August ,about 1969. Over 100*F. For days in a row. The ice cream truck rolls up. We by ice creams on a stick. One of us accidentally drops our ice cream on the ground. Then the next day we all meet up and there on the sidewalk is yesterday's fallen ice cream . Pretty much in it's original shape just a bit deflated add minus the stick. We figure the neighbor's dog came by left the ice cream but took the stick.😮
Wow, those are some stable ice cream sandwiches! I think I remember my grandmother leaving out one of those Value Brand ice cream sandwiches out for a half hour before eating it just to slightly soften it back when she lived in Virginia. Neat to see the science behind their melting!

Hello Emmy! I’ve been watching your channel for such a long time, and you’re always such a familiar face. These videos have brought me great comfort over the last decade it seems. Thank you!
My grandfather grew up with a gold spoon in his mouth. He was an heir to a brewery fortune but lost everything in the depression when he was around 25. He became a notorious miser and bought the cheapest of everything-- until around 1970, when he bought a carton of dirt cheap ice cream. It tasted so awful my grandmother threw it in the sink and it was still there in all its square glory the next morning. My grandmother took over the grocery shopping.
Most 'ice creams' from stores aren't churned anymore but are instead basically an enriched whipped cream. A lot of that is due to manufactured ice creams not having the fat content ice-cream is suppose to have to make it creamy, so that creaminess is derived from process instead (in this case, heavy whipping). The gums are stabilizers meant to protect the frozen desserts from temperature differentials in case they are mishandled, weather issues, etc. They're all derived from a natural source and safe to eat, certainly not any more dangerous than the sugar itself. This isn't some insidious manufacturing ploy. Costumers have been demanding lower fat products for decades but they still want things like ice cream, so the textures and flavors that used to be imparted by fat have to be replaced with something, in this case process and thickening agents.
That's why my gf stopped buying it. Their potato chips also never get stale. We had a bag open for 7 months, and they were still fresh, like when they were first opened
As a valley dweller, 84 degrees as a summer temperature makes me weep with envy. 😂 we have triple digits for months on end and have difficulty getting ice cream from the grocery store to the house.
I used to always notice the foaminess when i ate icecream sandwiches and i never liked the taste. It never tasted like real ice cream but moreso cream. Thanks for this
i found this recipe on the back of a Jell-o puding box about 20 yrs ago. its perfect for making ice cream sandwiches or even a cream pie 1 pkg of pudding mix, 1 1/4 cup of milk, 4 cups of cool whip ...what i like to do is take graham crackers and put a tbsp of mixtire between 2 squares ...let them set in the freezer... the longer you let them set the outside of the cookie stays crunchy but the insides are soft ..perfect balance! perfect for small children these DO NOT MELT
They achieve the texture with a mix much like a crisco cream/powered sugar and extra carrageenan and likely some kinda grain based starch and of course, extra whipping for added air to give more structures for everything to build within, kinda like whipping egg whites.
I know you wanna say that there's additives that make this behave this way, but I wonder if it's more that they are pumping air into their "ice cream". They don't have to put air on the ingredients and they can save millions in mass quantity. Foam has a tendency to dry and keep it's volume.
The stabilizers help the air hold its shape! If you look at high quality vs cheap ice cream, the air quantity can change- the volume is the same, but the weight is different. But cheap ice cream will still melt. If it’s got lots of stabilizers, and won’t ‘melt’. ‘Frozen dairy dessert’ has milk and stabilizers.
Not really, I make ice cream specifically by whipping cream and folding it into my other ingredients (you don't need any churning or machine that way) and my ice cream melts instantly since it's 90% whipped cream.
I bet one of the reasons they make them not melt is for shipping. Everyone knows a pallet sits out too long before it gets stocked, or if a freezer truck goes out. With this kind of buffer the customer wouldn't notice any changes if they were refrozen.
Exactly what I was going to say. I have worked in merchandising in dollar stores, I can tell you that these "ice cream"dairy treats are melted and refrozen multiple times before the customer even touches them...

I laughed when you used the word parallelogram to describe the shape of the different flavors. Brings back memories from my geometry classes in high school.
I recently read an article about Japanese ice cream that doesn’t melt. It had a strawberry extract they had discovered when they noticed strawberries made milk get thick.
Kroger has a pumpkin pie ice cream sandwich by their brand & they are amazing 😋 They also have strawberry shortcake & smores flavor ice cream sandies too. I enjoy the freeze dried ice cream sandwiches AKA Astronaut ice cream as well.
Back in the 1980s I shared a back yard with several cottages. I found a broken open package of ice cream that someone had apparently dropped on their way home from the store. It was summer, and out of curiosity I left it for a few days and it never melted.

I don't know if klondike does chocolate on chocolate sandwiches, but the do chocolate klondike bars (square with the chocolate candy coating). I really like those.
I bought the ice cream machine attachment for my kitchen aid mixer and used one of the recipes in the instruction manual, made the ice cream, served up a portion, ate a little before dozing off for the evening and woke up the next morning and it was fully intact and I didn't use any weird ingredients when making it. Was quite disturbing.
The reason they don't melt like what you'd expect is because they use emulsifiers and gelatin or other stiffening agents so they don't have to actually whip the cream as much and can use cheaper lower fat milk.
This is very very off topic but this sorta reminds me of learning that American cheese is just cheddar cheese boiled in water with some chemical thickners
Wish we could go back in time before Velveeta was bought out. The original recipe by Monroe Cheese Co is said to be completely different and tasted a LOT better. When it got bought Kraft replaced ingredients to save money. -_-
and you have to wonder why anyone would do this then market it? Like why not just eat the cheddar cheese? What was the fascination in the early 1900's with chemicalizing everything? And why did it take off and only get worse as the years go by???
theyre not ice cream, thats the point lol. its not that its ice cream that doesnt melt, its just that its a dessert with dairy products in it that doesnt melt
When I was a child, the ice cream sandwich was one of my favourites. They melted back then (the 1960's and 1970's). I find most ice cream products today are not very good. Then you have stuff which is made with coffee whitener and uses the microscopic plastic pellets to thicken it. In Canada the companies can't even label those products "ice cream" due to the lack of dairy (they're labelled frozen dessert or frozen treat). Likewise, Dairy Queen is DQ in Canada as their product doesn't contain enough dairy product to use the word dairy on their signs. I'm lucky that the city I live in has a local ice cream factory, which buys its ingredients from local producers as much as possible. Their chocolate ice cream is so rich! Although I pay $11 for a 2 litre container, it is so worth it.
There are two types of Dairy Queen stores (in the USA, dunno about other countries). Old contract and New contract. The Old contract locations have been around for ages and they make everything on-site except the sugar free items. So a Dilly Bar and other treats are made fresh right there. New contract locations have to have Dilly Bars and other treats shipped in from the corporate factories, which funnels more $ to the parent company. IIRC they have it set up so if any Old contract store owner sells it, the new owner must change to New contract. Thus as time passes and people sell or retire, the number of really good Dairy Queen locations continues to shrink. :(

Growing up in the 40’s and 50’s we made homemade ice cream in a hand cranked ice cream maker with ice and rock salt. That was REAL ice cream!!
Can't tell if this is satire😭
That sounds so good I've always wanted to try and make homemade ice cream with my son I'm going to try to find real ingredients
I remember working at Walmart years ago and finding a room temperature box of ice cream sandwiches lying on top of a display of women’s t-shirts. I picked it up to bring to the back room for disposal, fully expecting the box to leak, but it didn’t and the sandwiches inside looked fresh from the freezer when we were throwing them out. Didn’t eat an ice cream sandwich for years after.
Anyone else remember ice cream day at school? Ours was Friday, you got to choose from an ice cream sandwich, a drumstick, Fudgsicle, or a Push Up for 25 cents.
My son's school still does it on friday but it's $1 each
We had only one ice cream day at school on 1st June (children day) 😂 We had "normal" ice cream so it was soooo messsy.
The school district local to me has ice cream every day. $1.25-$1.50. My son is now homeschooling but he got ice cream often. It was elcheapo crap though.
We got a Dixie Cup, a little plastic half cup serving of vanilla ice cream.
Man y'all had awesome schools. Mine was poor and didn't have that.
We have a brand in Canada called “No Name”. When my daughter was a toddler she left her ice cream sandwich out in our family room and it wasn’t notice until 48hrs later was still intact with no melted mess behind. We stopped buying them.
There's nothing wrong with them. It was made with carrageenan, an extract from seaweed that's used for thickening in various "creamy" products, e.g. the cream part of sandwich biscuits. Someone found out that they could "freeze" it and then sold it as ice cream.
It's edible, it's seaweed after all. But some people may think it's unusual.
@@boulderbash19700209 Nope. Hard Pass. Ice Cream melts. No one cares for irregular additives that isn't what the product is supposed to be which is Iced Cream.
oh my god it's just a thickener. are you people real.
@@SpaceManRD Or it can be people just want natural ice cream. Isn't that a wild thought.
lol when I was a little kid apparently my mom found a McDonald's burger in her car that was completely petrified. no mold or rot. we hadn't gone to McDonald's in like 6 months.
My middle school had an ice cream vending machine in the cafeteria and I was supposed to buy my lunch at school but I remember when I hated the lunch options I would go get a Toll House ice cream sandwich instead! Chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream. Highly nutritious lunch 😂
Starting in 7th grade I used to just skip lunch altogether and walk to a convenience store after school and buy a can of Pringles.
This is amazing. I don't remember how I got here. And I stayed awake watching almost all of a video about melting ice cream sandwiches. But I'm glad I did.
Schwann’s has the best ice cream sandwich’s ever. The cookie part is fresh and crisp, the ice cream isn’t just frozen cool whip. My mother in law always had these.
But does the cookie break into five pieces when you bite into it? I really prefer the mushy cookies.
I remember getting their Golden Nuggets from the truck. So good
I was a cook at a nursing home. They had a dairy dessert cup that didn't melt. It was made for people on a fluid restricted diet and those on a puree diet
From Hormel? That stuff is so cool, it's meant to be pudding if you put it in the fridge & ice cream if you put it in the freezer. Plus it's shelf stable.
never have i ever heard of a fluid restriction diet, what the heck is that ?
@@katsu9582 it's for people with swallowing disorders or certain stomach disorders. It's not a diet type diet. My child was on a type of one for a couple of years.
@katsu9582 When my organs were failing, I was on heavy fluid restrictions to try and drain/reabsorb fluid from my lungs
The reason why the ones in the video don't melt is probably mostly in part because of the algae gelatin.

That happened to me years ago. The Walmart icecream sandwiches fell out of the grocery bag, in my van on a hot summer day. I found them the next day. No mess, not melted.
Well now I know what to bring home on a hot summer day. That was so fun!
I haven't had ice cream sandwiches in a long time and this has helped me to never eat one again.
Even when I was a kid i remember thinking the chocolate "bread" part tasted like cardboard

Picture this. One of my experiences in my sub-teen years. Bakersfield California August ,about 1969. Over 100*F. For days in a row. The ice cream truck rolls up. We by ice creams on a stick. One of us accidentally drops our ice cream on the ground. Then the next day we all meet up and there on the sidewalk is yesterday's fallen ice cream . Pretty much in it's original shape just a bit deflated add minus the stick. We figure the neighbor's dog came by left the ice cream but took the stick.😮
Smart dog 😂

I have a friend who lives near Inyokern and I can picture the weather but I can't picture the ice cream bar surviving, freaky😂
Today I watched a woman put ice cream sandwiches in the oven.

Wow, those are some stable ice cream sandwiches! I think I remember my grandmother leaving out one of those Value Brand ice cream sandwiches out for a half hour before eating it just to slightly soften it back when she lived in Virginia. Neat to see the science behind their melting!
Ice cream sandwiches will always remind me of my mom. They were her favorite.
This made me think of the old Du Pont Better Living Through Chemistry ads. Hell, I think I melt more at room temperature than those damned things.

Somewhere in those ingredients there may be some ice cream, but they've gummed up the works... :P
Emmy your voice and hand motions are like ASMR for my brain, I could watch and listen to you describe and explain all kinds of things no baking required. After a hot shower and now comfy in my bed your video is just so relaxing.
So true! Ordinarily, I wouldn’t watch anyone who said, “my lovelies” - but I could watch Emmy all day!!❤️❤️
I like this video, when your test and tasting ice cream bars. I like those ice cream bars myself, haven't bought them for a long time.
This is truly a Report of the Week-caliber ice cream sandwich review video, which is a compliment as you know!
I was curious so I googled if Turkish ice cream was also "melt resistant" because of the ingredients (orchid roots and mastic) & it is. I love the taste & texture of turkish ice cream :)
Where did you find this

😮 Wow! Where can I purchase it?🤔 I'm not much of an ice person I prefer homemade Italian ice but, I would love to try the Turkish brand. 😊
Hello Emmy! I’ve been watching your channel for such a long time, and you’re always such a familiar face. These videos have brought me great comfort over the last decade it seems. Thank you!

My grandfather grew up with a gold spoon in his mouth. He was an heir to a brewery fortune but lost everything in the depression when he was around 25. He became a notorious miser and bought the cheapest of everything-- until around 1970, when he bought a carton of dirt cheap ice cream. It tasted so awful my grandmother threw it in the sink and it was still there in all its square glory the next morning. My grandmother took over the grocery shopping.
Love your take on the video great explanation an ended it with the assurance that the ingredients were still safe for consumption thanks
Yum! Imagine the "ice cream" just sitting on your stomach, slowly oozing...

Most 'ice creams' from stores aren't churned anymore but are instead basically an enriched whipped cream. A lot of that is due to manufactured ice creams not having the fat content ice-cream is suppose to have to make it creamy, so that creaminess is derived from process instead (in this case, heavy whipping). The gums are stabilizers meant to protect the frozen desserts from temperature differentials in case they are mishandled, weather issues, etc. They're all derived from a natural source and safe to eat, certainly not any more dangerous than the sugar itself. This isn't some insidious manufacturing ploy. Costumers have been demanding lower fat products for decades but they still want things like ice cream, so the textures and flavors that used to be imparted by fat have to be replaced with something, in this case process and thickening agents.
You should have done a control by putting plain ice cream between two cookies. P.S. Love your videos.

You have an amazing voice. Very soothing and calmed me down
I used to always notice the foaminess when i ate icecream sandwiches and i never liked the taste. It never tasted like real ice cream but moreso cream. Thanks for this
i found this recipe on the back of a Jell-o puding box about 20 yrs ago. its perfect for making ice cream sandwiches or even a cream pie 1 pkg of pudding mix, 1 1/4 cup of milk, 4 cups of cool whip ...what i like to do is take graham crackers and put a tbsp of mixtire between 2 squares ...let them set in the freezer... the longer you let them set the outside of the cookie stays crunchy but the insides are soft ..perfect balance! perfect for small children these DO NOT MELT
They achieve the texture with a mix much like a crisco cream/powered sugar and extra carrageenan and likely some kinda grain based starch and of course, extra whipping for added air to give more structures for everything to build within, kinda like whipping egg whites.
I know you wanna say that there's additives that make this behave this way, but I wonder if it's more that they are pumping air into their "ice cream". They don't have to put air on the ingredients and they can save millions in mass quantity. Foam has a tendency to dry and keep it's volume.
The stabilizers help the air hold its shape! If you look at high quality vs cheap ice cream, the air quantity can change- the volume is the same, but the weight is different. But cheap ice cream will still melt. If it’s got lots of stabilizers, and won’t ‘melt’. ‘Frozen dairy dessert’ has milk and stabilizers.
Not really, I make ice cream specifically by whipping cream and folding it into my other ingredients (you don't need any churning or machine that way) and my ice cream melts instantly since it's 90% whipped cream.
Pink and Brown Band... That's a deep cut!
Very Interesting & Informative Ice Cream SandWich Test & Experiment. Thank You For UpLoading.
I bet one of the reasons they make them not melt is for shipping. Everyone knows a pallet sits out too long before it gets stocked, or if a freezer truck goes out. With this kind of buffer the customer wouldn't notice any changes if they were refrozen.
Exactly what I was going to say. I have worked in merchandising in dollar stores, I can tell you that these "ice cream"dairy treats are melted and refrozen multiple times before the customer even touches them...
If you refreeze them, they have a noticeable icy texture.

The video where Emmy eats all the ice cream. Oh and she tests some in the oven for "science" purposes. 😂
I laughed when you used the word parallelogram to describe the shape of the different flavors. Brings back memories from my geometry classes in high school.
I thought she said she didn't like the slant of parallelogram, referring to the cookie party being slanted?
I thought it was refreshing to hear someone use the correct term.
@@lreking8929 except it wasn't the correct use of the word as they're not paralellograms....
my fav ice cream sandwich is the coffee one from Trader Joe's
I think the resistance to melting helps when you pick them up and bring them home and refreeze them without losing the quality
Quality lol
I recently read an article about Japanese ice cream that doesn’t melt. It had a strawberry extract they had discovered when they noticed strawberries made milk get thick.

Get the Blue Bunny ones. They haven't shrunk their size like everyone else has.

My absolute favorite ice cream sandwich is the Mayfield chocolate on chocolate ice cream sandwich!

Kroger has a pumpkin pie ice cream sandwich by their brand & they are amazing 😋 They also have strawberry shortcake & smores flavor ice cream sandies too.

I don't know if klondike does chocolate on chocolate sandwiches, but the do chocolate klondike bars (square with the chocolate candy coating). I really like those.
I bought the ice cream machine attachment for my kitchen aid mixer and used one of the recipes in the instruction manual, made the ice cream, served up a portion, ate a little before dozing off for the evening and woke up the next morning and it was fully intact and I didn't use any weird ingredients when making it. Was quite disturbing.
The reason they don't melt like what you'd expect is because they use emulsifiers and gelatin or other stiffening agents so they don't have to actually whip the cream as much and can use cheaper lower fat milk.

This is very very off topic but this sorta reminds me of learning that American cheese is just cheddar cheese boiled in water with some chemical thickners
I like to eat a piece of Kraft singles when I feel a little nauseated. I tell myself it's a calcium supplement which in a way it is.
Wish we could go back in time before Velveeta was bought out. The original recipe by Monroe Cheese Co is said to be completely different and tasted a LOT better. When it got bought Kraft replaced ingredients to save money. -_-
That's weird because my mom can eat American cheese, but cheddar gives her a migraine!?
Nilesred/nilesblue, one of his channels recently made American cheese to demonstrate that actually
and you have to wonder why anyone would do this then market it? Like why not just eat the cheddar cheese? What was the fascination in the early 1900's with chemicalizing everything? And why did it take off and only get worse as the years go by???
the gum is safe? considering a human's body temp..how long would it take to melt in your body?

In my world, ice cream that doesn’t melt isn’t food.
theyre not ice cream, thats the point lol. its not that its ice cream that doesnt melt, its just that its a dessert with dairy products in it that doesnt melt

@@dizzybunnies dude you could literally recreate it yourself with gelatin and gelatin is definitely food
@@dizzybunniesi dont know why it replied to you that was not for you
When I was a child, the ice cream sandwich was one of my favourites. They melted back then (the 1960's and 1970's). I find most ice cream products today are not very good. Then you have stuff which is made with coffee whitener and uses the microscopic plastic pellets to thicken it. In Canada the companies can't even label those products "ice cream" due to the lack of dairy (they're labelled frozen dessert or frozen treat). Likewise, Dairy Queen is DQ in Canada as their product doesn't contain enough dairy product to use the word dairy on their signs. I'm lucky that the city I live in has a local ice cream factory, which buys its ingredients from local producers as much as possible. Their chocolate ice cream is so rich! Although I pay $11 for a 2 litre container, it is so worth it.
There are two types of Dairy Queen stores (in the USA, dunno about other countries). Old contract and New contract. The Old contract locations have been around for ages and they make everything on-site except the sugar free items. So a Dilly Bar and other treats are made fresh right there. New contract locations have to have Dilly Bars and other treats shipped in from the corporate factories, which funnels more $ to the parent company.
IIRC they have it set up so if any Old contract store owner sells it, the new owner must change to New contract. Thus as time passes and people sell or retire, the number of really good Dairy Queen locations continues to shrink. :(
