Is Japan’s Never Melting Ice Cream Real? #japan #japantravel #travel
This is Japan’s everlasting ice cream. Apparently, Japanese ice cream never melts. So, let’s test it. If you go to 7-Eleven or Family Mart, you can pick up one of these soft serve ice cream cones and some other goodies. But shh, that’s not why we’re here. I’ve eaten hundreds of these things. And during the summer, they’re great because they don’t drip. But a friend of mine told me that they don’t drip because they literally won’t melt. I’ve never once had a thought that that’s even possible. So, let’s set this delicious little thing on a plate and see how long it takes for it to turn into a sweet puddle. I’m going to be sad if it melts, but a little concerned if it doesn’t. We’ll check back after an hour. Nothing. Okay, hang on. 4 hours. Wait a minute. This thing hasn’t melted at all. And if I touch it, it feels like it’s pretty much room temperature. I might taste test it. Let’s wait 24 hours. After 24 hours, this is what it looks like. It’s still got its full shape. Not a drop of it melting. In fact, it’s kind of jiggly like Jell-O. Someone needs to explain this to me. I do not understand. And if I taste it, it literally tastes like room temperature ice cream, which is an incredibly weird thing to experience. Someone help me. How is this possible? I’m going to leave this out for a full 3 days and check back
Putting the ice cream that apparently never melts to the test in Japan. To surprising results honestly.

…. yea idk about that. Non melting ice cream… nope
"Not a drop of it melting"
As it drips
πππ
It must be made out of plastic
Might have a high gelatin content or something like that to help it keep its shape.
I had to test it and my experience it melted even more than on the video but still didnβt become watery like common American ice cream π¦
Check the packaging, if it doesn't say the word "ice cream" anywhere then it definitely doesn't have real milk in it and has "palm oil" in it which is pretty harmful for health.
These types of "ice creams" are called "frozen deserts."
And yes, the lack of milk in the ice cream and presence of other additives is what prevents melting.
If I had to guess it might be some sort of cooked custard, likely baked or boiled, that is then molded and chilled so it resembles icecream. Most cooked custards can maintain cohesion at room temperature and can be flavored like icecream. Likely it also has some gelatin adden to make it even firmer and hold thr shape better, but this is my hypothesis based on the video as presented.
uhhhh I'm not a doctor but I'm 99% sure you're not supposed to eat that after sitting out for over 2 hours, thats how bacteria rises to unsafe levels
It's not iced cream. It's usually a frozen dairy dessert product. It's…….. different.
Okay why the noodles and ice-cream π
Did anyone else notice the lips showing up through the ice cream faintly?
Apparently from my searching, this is called "Kanazawa Ice Cream", the secret ingredient is polyphenol liquid (which is found in strawberries).This liquid helps to prevent the separation of water and oil in the ice cream so it stays together π€
They fill these will all sorts of gums/fillers to keep them from melting – they are barely ice cream any more
