Mountain House's Neapolitan Ice Cream Bar is a crunchy, ready-to-eat dessert. It's a freeze-dried ice cream bar made to take on the trail. It doesn't require any preparation and you can pretend you're orbiting the earth while eating your astronaut food.

Bottom Line: The only on-trail cure for ice cream cravings.

Pretty Good...

By:

The trick to this is to let it melt in your mouth, don't chew it. You can chew it if you don't mind crunchy ice cream. But the taste is pretty good, and my kids are crazy about it... A fun treat...

Wonderful treat

By:

I really like neapolitan ice cream. Aside from cookies and cream, it is one of my favorites. Being able to take it into the backcountry with me is outstanding! It's basically the same stuff as the astronaut ice cream we used to get when I was a kid. My son loves this so much that sometimes we buy it at Walmart just for a treat when we are at home.

this is the best of the ice cream sandwiches. Why get one flavor when you can have 3. Great little treat to bring for the group.

I feel like an Astronaut.

By:
November 18, 2008

This tasted just like ice cream, and had a really nice texture once it melted in my mouth. I felt like an astronaut when I ate it, which was fun. I probably wouldn't carry it on every trip, but for a few delicious extra calories, it's a good way to go.

Excellent

By:

I've enjoyed this stuff ever since I was a little kid, and I continue to enjoy it today. The sweetness goes so well after a long day on the trail and a hot meal. And on top of that, you never have to wait for it to cook or set up. Does have a little bit of a buttery taste, but I think that is what I love.

Ice Cream Anyone?

By:
September 29, 2009

Freeze-dried ice cream? I tried it and it's actually good. A little weird feeling in your mouth until it starts to melt. Then it tastes just like, well...melted ice cream. Kinda cool and always a conversation starter.

surprise!

It does taste like ice cream. It looks weird, it seems weird, it IS weird. But when you put it in your mouth and let it "melt" a bit, it sure passes for ice cream...at least it does in the backcountry!

Surprisingly, this was really good. Not Baskin Robbins or anything, but the flavor was very good! If you are looking to pack something sweet with you this is what you need!

I would rather carry real food

By: Backcountry.com Employee

I did not enjoy the taste(or the crunch) at all. I should mention though that the rest of my hiking party enjoyed them, so maybe its just me! I would rather carry real food that is a little heavier-or nothing at all.

Surprisely Awesome!

By:

I bought one to try out. Man, talk about a pleasant surprise!

The taste is just like a frozen one. I really expected a cardboard-like taste.

Mine was a little crumbly, partially broken so it was a little messy. But so what! When you're out above the timberline this treat satisfies the taste buds!

Tasty Trail Treat

Such a great treat for out on the trail. A lot like space food from back in the day. Good texture and awesome taste. Best if you let it dissolve a little bit before chewing.

The Best Food of All Time

By: Backcountry.com Employee
May 29, 2009

Reminded me of the gift shop at the Air and Space Museum in DC. Real live astronaut ice cream in my backpack? Awesome. The chocolate is good enough, the vanilla is super tasty, and you better win the arm wrestling match if you want the strawberry. It rules.

This, like the other Mountain House Ice Cream, was awesome. Each flavor had an individual taste that was actually really good. It put a smile on my face after a long 16 mile day carrying 35 lbs :)

Try This Treat!!

Got this for a 10 day packing trip that involved a Float Plane to our site. We HAD to pack in all food, and keep weight heavily in mind. Got this for a treat, and was not disappointed! It was really really tasty. Surprisingly tasted JUST like ice cream (after it rehydrated in my mouth :) I suggest this to anyone needing a treat on the trail.
