To make the perfect scoop of ice cream, you first need a dairy base -- its natural proteins, fat, and sugar provide the rich, distinct mouthfeel.

Next is the 0.5 percent of emulsifiers and stabilizers added to the liquid, helping the water content and fats stick together.

The mix is homogenized, then cooled and aged for 24 hours at 5 degrees Celsius (40 Fahrenheit ) for an even richer, smoother taste.

Tetra Pak has slowed the melting process, but it has no interest in eliminating it altogether.
