Answer 11

Probably cuz the ice cream is either frozen slowly, which forms crunchy ice crystals, or because the ice cream is thawed and then frozen, which forms crunchy ice crystals.

You know Dippin Dots?  They're flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen, and that means they're extra creamy because they won't have any crunchy ice crystals.
