At Lickee, we believe that every scoop of ice cream should be enjoyed just as it was intended—smooth, creamy, and perfectly frozen. But how do we ensure that our delicious ice creams arrive in pristine condition, even after a journey to your doorstep? The answer lies in our use of dry ice, the secret ingredient that keeps your frozen treats at the perfect temperature from our freezers to yours.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and is much colder than regular ice, sitting at an incredible -78.5°C. Unlike traditional ice, which melts into water, dry ice sublimates—meaning it transitions directly from a solid to a gas without leaving any liquid behind. This unique property makes it the ideal cooling agent for shipping frozen goods like Lickee ice cream.
When it comes to shipping ice cream, maintaining a consistently low temperature is crucial. Regular ice or gel packs simply can’t keep products cold enough during transit, which is why we rely on dry ice to do the job. Here are just a few reasons why it’s the perfect solution:
✅ Ultra-Cold Temperatures – Dry ice keeps ice cream frozen solid, preventing any melting or changes in texture during delivery.
✅ No Messy Melting – Since dry ice sublimates rather than melting, there’s no risk of soggy packaging or unwanted leaks.
✅ Extended Cooling Power – Dry ice lasts much longer than traditional ice, ensuring your Lickee treats stay frozen for the entire journey.
Every order of Lickee ice cream is carefully packed with the right amount of dry ice to maintain freezing temperatures throughout transit. Here’s how we do it:
Since dry ice is extremely cold, it’s important to handle it with care once your Lickee delivery arrives. Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:
🚫 Do Not Touch Directly – Always use gloves or a towel when handling dry ice to avoid frostbite.
💨 Allow It to Evaporate in a Well-Ventilated Area – Dry ice turns into carbon dioxide gas as it sublimates, so leave it in an open space to safely dissipate.
🗑️ Do Not Seal It in an Airtight Container – As dry ice turns into gas, it expands and can cause pressure buildup if stored in a sealed container.
We take pride in delivering premium-quality ice cream that arrives just as fresh as if you picked it up from a local parlour. Thanks to our use of dry ice and expert packing techniques, you can enjoy your Lickee favourites without worrying about melting or spoilage.
So next time you open your Lickee delivery and see that perfect, frozen scoop, you’ll know that dry ice is the secret ingredient keeping your treats at their best. Ready to enjoy a hassle-free ice cream delivery experience? Browse our delicious range today and taste the magic for yourself! ❄️🍦
