frozen treat

The next morning, the influencer bit into the frozen treat while filming himself for his roughly 170,000 TikTok followers.

A frozen treat, let's call it.

But to get a perfectly creamy, smoothly textured frozen treat, we need more than just a low temperature — it takes a careful interplay of chemistry and three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.

When you urgently need a frozen treat without leaving the house to get it, the most satisfying shortcut might be a cold and fluffy no-churn ice cream.

For those of us who make our homes in northerly climates, the fleeting nature of the warmest season sweetens the joy of this frozen treat all the more.
