  Have you ever tried eating ice cream that doesn’t melt? Well, you might be surprised about this expensive ice desserts from China which is called ‘Chicecream’ that seems to stay frozen all the time! Yep, it has gone viral on social media! 

   
  

  Ice cream is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed by people all over the world, and there are many different varieties and flavors to choose from. However, this ‘Chicecream’ type of ice cream has gained a lot of attention because of this unique phenomenon that this Chinese ice cream doesn’t melt even when burned. It has left many people wondering how it is possible. In this article, we will explore the science behind this unusual ice cream and why it doesn’t melt even when exposed to high temperatures. 

  The secret to this unusual ice cream lies in its main ingredients. We all know that ice cream is typically made using a combination of cream, milk, and other artificial flavors. The company has stated that Carrageenans are widely used in ice cream. This helps the milk proteins maintain its stability. 

  Another ingredient that can be used in making this Chinese ice cream is a type of plant root called Konjac. This is commonly used to give taste, chewiness, and stretchiness to the ice cream.  

  Some would also use Polyols to make the ice cream as stable as possible even when exposed to heat. When used in ice cream, polyols help to slow down the melting process and give the ice cream its unique stability. 

  But just because the ice cream doesn’t melt doesn’t mean it’s indestructible or it won’t melt forever. In fact, the taste, texture, and stability of the ice cream are often compared to a Styrofoam, and believe it or not, many people find it to be less enjoyable than traditional ice cream. 

  Despite these concerns, the stability of the Chinese ice cream has gained popularity across the world which made it a hit. In addition to that, it also comes in a variety of flavors, including green tea, black sesame, and even durian. 

  Overall, while stability ice cream may not be for everyone, it’s an interesting and innovative addition to the world of frozen treats. Whether you’re a fan of traditional ice cream or not, this not-melting ice cream is surely worth a try!
