What Happens If You Melt Ice Cream And Freeze It Again?
When you melt ice cream and then refreeze it, the ice crystals that were originally present start to separate and then join together in new forms as they refreeze. This leads to an unpleasant texture that is icy and grainy instead of the smooth consistency of ice cream. The flavor and color may also be affected depending on how long the ice cream was melted. Ultimately, it is not recommended to refreeze melted ice cream.
