Astronaut Foods Freeze Dried Ice Cream Sandwich | Vanilla | 6-Pack

My students were fascinated with freeze-dried food during our camping-themed unit. I introduced the ice cream sandwiches, and the children were amazed by how much they tasted like real ice cream sandwiches and how smooth the ice cream felt as they ate them. We also discussed their shelf life and why backpackers might choose them as a sweet treat on a trek, given their lightweight, portable design.

My grandson loves this product and I like to order it as a surprise. This time for his birthday.🎉

I purchased this as a stocking stuffer for my son, wasn't sure if he'd like it, but he LOVED it. The texture in your mouth is a bit weird, reminds me of styrofoam. The flavor is definitely there though and tastes exactly like an ice cream sandwich. I think it's a bit exspensive but would definitely purchase again for a "special" occasion!

Well I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to buy these again they taste great and they're fun to share with friends and watch them try to wrap their mind around how this ice cream sandwich isn't melting and is infact crunchy. Texture of the ice cream is similar to the dried marshmallow you get in lucky charms. Also fact these are so light weight and have a 3 year shelf life means you can take a few for a camping trip if you get tired of s'mores. Overall well worth the $30 or so I spent.

Just as described. Haven’t tried them yet because I bought them for book club.

The rectangular shaped bar in the picture isn't what I got. The actual product is a smaller, round ice cream sandwich. As for the taste and texture, it's pretty good. The vanilla and chocolate flavors are nice and strong. I'd describe the texture as something between a very dense Lucky Charms marshmallow and a thick cracker. I really don't understand how astronauts could eat these things in space because they make a lot of crumbs and I thought the whole point of space food was to avoid that. The astronaut ice cream sandwich is actually pretty messy. All in all, it's a nice novelty product, and it taste good, but it's not something I feel the need to buy again. It would make good gift, though.

I was skeptical about “dried” ice‑cream, but this product lives up to the hype. The package arrived in a sleek, compact “tac” (the little pouch) and the ice‑cream was as fresh as it could be—no freezer burn, no clamping. The flavor is exactly what you’d expect from the real thing you get at the Air & Space Museum’s café, and it melts instantly on your tongue. I’m already planning to order more for trips and quick snacks. If you love ice‑cream but don’t want the mess of a freezer, give this a try—you won’t be disappointed.

Why is this SO good? Lol yes, its expensive for one ice cream sandwich and FYI don't open it on your desk over your keyboard like I did with my dogs right underneath 🤣 what a mess and well, we all loved it!

I’ve never had anything freeze dried before, let alone an ice cream sandwich. I was lucky to receive mine completely intact, the vanilla is kinda overpowering but overall it’s got a great crunch and tastes pretty good.

Good

Bought as an extra Christmas present for my partner, he was ecstatic as he loves space themed stuff that's unique and fun. He loved it and gave me a bite, but the bar came totally smashed to bits. The ice cream filling tastes like creamy vanilla flavoured custard, and has a texture similar to meringue when you bite it, but if you let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and get some saliva on it, it starts to melt sort of like ice cream. The chocolate sandwich part is also tasty, much like a Bourbon biscuit. Good crunch on it. Altogether it was a great gift, but disappointed that it came so crushed. Tastes amazing, would have looked amazing, but for the price and long wait time, I wouldn't really say it's worth it... :(

My mom bought me this as a surprise and I was super excited. For anyone out there who's never had astronaut ice cream, do not expect this to taste like ice cream. It doesn't. It has a chalky texture that melts in your mouth and doesn't taste like ice cream in the slightest so just prepare yourself. Still, I totally love it.

I wish I could rate this Ice Cream Sandwich with all the stars in the universe, but alas, Amazon has not yet included the option.
