Best Answer

Ice cream contains a lot of air, up to half its volume. The air gives the ice cream the desired texture. Without it, ice cream would be more like ice. When the ice cream melts, the air is released, so the volume decreases. It's like putting a glob of shaving cream on the counter and letting it sit. In a short time, the volume will decrease dramatically as the gases that make it foamy are released.
