Bring It On, Summer, There’s Popsicles That Don’t Melt Now

What a time to be alive. Someone’s figured out how to make popsicles that don’t melt.

Although, summer is drawing to a close, food artists Bompas & Parr have created the Non-melting Ice Lolly. What is this frozen sorcery you ask? The popsicles are made with a pykrete-inspired substance. Pykrete, in its traditional form, is a sawdust-based ice that has a very slow melting rate.

Bombas & Parr’s version replaces the wood with edible fruit fibers. The result is a popsicle that you can finally take your time with. Bring it, Sun!

The Non-melting Ice Lolly, unfortunately, has yet to be mass-produced. They were only available for a very limited time at The British Museum of Food.

Daniel Jacob’s fancy popsicles and other art can be seen at Nonfinito Gallery in New York through May 31, 2018. Also, see more on Instagram.
