Icecream was solved in 1950s in USSR.

I've had lots of different ice creams. I enjoy the differences. Turkish Ice Cream is chewy for example. I like soft serve sometimes too and the quality varies widely from icy (meh) to smooth (yum) to light and creamy (yum). There's a branch in Japan that advertizes it's 25% whipped cream. it's great!

What's 1950s USSR ice cream like?

I've not personally had it but from my experience with fresh high quality high milk fat dairy (which I believe Soviet ice cream to be), the richness, high fat content, lack of air bubbles and stabilizers help keep it from melting.

Best ingredients possible make the product remarcable.

For icecream you make it from cream, not milk, not some substitute, just the real milk cream. Not the processed crap that's sold along the same crap milk. The real thing, made from real milk at the spot. And then you have the product.

It's enshittification reversed.
