- Astronaut Foods Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Sandwich, NASA Space Dessert, Vanilla, 6 Count

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.

These are exactly as described. Ice cream sandwiches made for the most elite astronauts. They are totally delicious and arrived in tact and ready for lift off!!!

When I'm pregnant I crave this. I'm assuming it has a lot to do with the texture rather than the taste itself. The cookie part is crispy but melts in your mouth just as the ice cream does, but the ice cream almost has this sound of breaking styrofoam when you bite into it. The cookie part is chocolatey but not overly so. The ice cream has a good flavor if you allow it to melt slightly in your mouth. My 4 year old and 15 month old absolutely love these too. The price is kind if high for a snack youd reach for often, but as an occasional treat I think its reasonable. Most of the bars came intact, no air bubbles, and none were crushed. A couple of them were broken in half which is fine and to be expected.

My daughter has wanted to try these for years, but wasn't able to find them. I stumbled across these, and decided to surprise her with them. She was very excited to try them, but when she did, she rated them a 7, and only wanted to eat one. She gave the rest away. I rate these a 9 out of 10, because I felt like they had a slight freezer burn taste to them. They were still tasty though, because the freezer burn taste wasn't overwhelming, and was easily ignored. The texture makes them very fun to eat. I have PICA, so the texture was very satisfying to me. Weird, but I'll be honest. I think it's one of those foods that everyone should try at LEAST once during their lifetime. I would purchase these again for myself.

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!

It definitely tasted like an ice cream sandwich, just not cold and had a weird consistency.

My grandson thought this was the coolest thing ever! He ate it and liked it!

Instead of a 6 pack I received a singular package. So I spent nearly $30 for a singular ice cream. Very upset.
