Freeze-Dried Ice Cream: A Unique Treat at YEG Exotic

At YEG Exotic, Edmonton’s destination for adventurous and unique snacks, we love bringing treats that surprise and delight. One of our standout offerings is Freeze-Dried Ice Cream—a crunchy, creamy, and out-of-this-world snack that transforms the classic ice cream experience into a shelf-stable, portable delight. Perfect for snack lovers, candy enthusiasts, or anyone curious about something a little different, freeze-dried ice cream is a must-try in the world of Edmonton Candy.

What is Freeze-Dried Ice Cream?

Freeze-dried ice cream, sometimes called “astronaut ice cream,” starts with real ice cream that is frozen and then carefully dehydrated under low pressure. The process removes the moisture while keeping the original flavour intact. The result is a crunchy, airy treat that melts in your mouth, delivering the familiar taste of ice cream without needing a freezer.

It’s a snack that’s both nostalgic and exciting—perfect for anyone who loves the creamy sweetness of ice cream but wants a convenient, mess-free alternative.

Flavours & Fun

At YEG Exotic, our freeze-dried ice cream comes in a variety of classic and adventurous flavours, including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cookies & cream. Each bite is light, crisp, and intensely flavorful, giving you the same satisfaction as a scoop of ice cream in a brand-new, portable format.

Because it’s freeze-dried, this ice cream is shelf-stable, making it easy to pack for snacks on the go, road trips, camping, or just a fun treat at home. The crunchiness adds a unique texture that traditional ice cream doesn’t have, giving a fun twist to every bite.

Perfect Pairings with Edmonton Pop & Candy

One of the joys of visiting YEG Exotic is mixing and matching your favourite treats. Freeze-dried ice cream pairs beautifully with our selection of Edmonton Pop and other Edmonton Candy.

Try dipping pieces into a cold soda for a fizzy dessert experience or crumbling them over chocolate bars, brownies, or cupcakes for added crunch and flavour. It’s also perfect for snacking alongside gummy candies, licorice, or other exotic treats available at YEG Exotic.
