Take your taste buds on an adventure with all new Astronaut Ice Cream!

This official NASA approved freeze dried Ice Cream is the perfect light snack for taking into orbit, just like a real life astronaut!

It's completely freeze dried which means that most of the water has been removed, ready for eating straight from the pack!

There's no refrigeration needed, and if you don't finish it in one sitting, the package is easily resealable.

Tantalise your taste buds as the dry crunchy textured slice melts in your mouth, taking on the rich creamy flavour of vanilla!

It tastes delicious, it's light enough to take on long trips, and it won't drip all down your space suit!

Is it real ice cream?
Yes, each Astronaut Ice Cream pack contains a rectangle slice of freeze-dried, edible vanilla ice cream and comes in a resealable pack.

What does it taste like?
It's dry, crunchy and has the same texture as the centre of a Malteser. It melts when you pop it in your mouth, like honeycomb!

Is this really Astronaut Food?
Sorry... Astronauts don't actually eat freeze dried ice-cream in space. It would float off everywhere as they crunched into the yummyness!

Please note: Due to the nature of this freeze dried snack, it may arrive slightly crumbled, perfect for bite-sized snacking! Contains milk, may contain traces of peanuts, soy, gluten and tree nuts. If you are allergic to these things do not eat this.

List of Ingredients:
Low fat milk, glucose syrup (wheat), sugar, water, milk solids, cream, maltodexrin, vegetable origin emulsifiers, 477,471 (Soy) Vegetable Gum (412) flavour, colour (160b).

I bought 8 of these freeze dried ice creams to put in party bags. The kids loved them. It's something you don't see everyday and a bit of fun. The kids thought it was very tasty too.

Bought these last year to fill up the Xmas stockings - and there were such a hit that I've bought them again. Takes exactly like ice cream - only crunchy. Hard to explain, but a great edible novelty everyone can enjoy.

I was looking for stocking fillers for Xmas for my 7 year old Grandson. He’s into space and astronomy. And all things science. I came across freeze dried ice cream (astronaut ice cream) and thought yesssssssssssss, how cool is that? No doubt my grandson is going to think he’s got the coolest grandpa. Now I have to keep browsing to ensure I remain cool.

I bought two packets for my stepson with Autism, who told me he had them when he went on a excursion to a science museum when he was 7. Now 12 thought would be a great Xmas present, as soon as he open present he ate one instantly and has put the other one away for when he is older.

Novelty is great! It does taste like vanilla ice cream, although at the same time very different being that it is freeze-dried. Would be great for astronaut themed parties!

To say that my kids were excited would be an understatement - they loved this - they talked about it heaps - and really enjoyed eating it. We bought three and so their was lots of discussion about it - “when can we have the next one”. Only critique was the cost - but was worth it for the excitement for the little ones.

Thank you Coolthings for such great service and the very prompt delivery of this product. It certainly was a hit with my Year 3 class. They were so excited eating their astronaut icecream and have not stopped talking about it since. There certainly was no problem with litter, as they took their packages home as a souvenir.

I am a teacher and purchased the ice cream for my students to taste as part of our unit of work on space and they loved it! It was great fun learning about the food astronauts eat and then the novelty of having some to try was enormous. The service was quick, thorough and easy to organise. The goods arrived quicker than I thought and the payment was easy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from this website again. Thank you

I am a food technologist who takes a kindergarten class for a regular session on food science and cooking. The kids had a space day where they dressed up as astronauts, stars and planets. They discussed the types of food that can be taken into space and tasted some astronaut ice cream. It was a big hit and introduced the kids to dehydration as a means of food preservation! Thank You - Great product.

This stuff is really great, an almost sensual experience for both your taste buds and tongue. It legitimately gets a creamy texture after it comes in contact with your saliva. The different flavours are very easy to pick as well. Only thing is the serving size is tiny, so if I were you I'd buy two. P.S - CoolThings Australia DID NOT ask me to put that in, its just a recommendation from me to you!

It was really nice, tasted exactly like ice cream. The product size was a little small though, I was expecting something larger...was only about the size of your palm. Still, had a lot of fun and my friends loved it

I have great memories of eating delicious space food as a child at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC, and have never been able to find astronaut ice-cream since. That is, until I came across Coolthings! I was so happy to find them, I immediately ordered three. My partner has now developed a taste for astronaut food also, so it's probably time to order more... I was pleasantly surprised to see how efficient the site is, how good the communication was, and how quickly it was delivered too! I'll definitely be ordering more in future.

This makes a great gift!! I have been giving them instead of chocolates and people really appreciate the uniqueness - but buy one to try for yourself as well, they really are a delicious eating experience (there is something surreal about dry, chunky ice cream)
