ice cream
Scientists discovered a type of compound the helps ice cream hold its shape at room temperature for multiple hours.
  • A new innovation could help prevent ice cream from becoming a puddle at room temperature.
  • Compounds called polyphenols, found in green tea and berries, can help stabilize the ice cream.
  • More research is needed to make no-melt ice cream a delicious reality. 

Sloppy sundaes and drippy cones could become a thing of the past as the wonders of science have uncovered a way to make ice cream nearly melt-proof.

The innovation comes from (where else?) the Dairy State, specifically the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
