A few factors come into play...

* Color: Dark colors absorb heat, so chocolate ice cream would melt faster than vanilla. This would be especially true in the sunlight.

* Ingredients: Some ingredients may affect the melting point. For example, salt water freezes boil at a different temperature than fresh water freezes.

Why does ice cream melt slower than sherbet?

It's because sherbert ice cream is more of a water base (juice) which melts faster. Dairy base ice cream are usually made from egg yolk, cream, milk, and sugar. Yolks, cream, and milk have high fat content which makes them melt slower than water base ice cream which melts faster.

The fat in ice cream does not freeze - only the water molecules. Sorbet has no fat molecules in it, so it is entirely frozen - hence it takes longer to melt.

What happens when you melt oreos?

Oreos are cream filled biscuits and thus there are two components namely the biscuit and the cream fill. The biscuit will only melt at very high temperatures. In a normal atmosphere the biscuit will burn long before it melts. During heating some softening of the biscuit occurs due to the melting of the fat in the biscuit. The cream consists essentially of sugar, fat and water. Upon heating the cream will become liquid as the fat melts and the sugar dissolves in the water.

Does the amount of fat in ice cream affect it's melting time?

Question:How does the amount of fat in Dryers vanilla ice cream affect how fast the ice cream completely melts?Variables:Changed/manipulated: Amount of fatMeasured/responding: How fast the ice cream completely meltsControlled: How much ice cream, same brand, ingredients, or flavor, and same shape when scooped onto a plate.Prediction:I predict that the more fat in ice cream the slower it will melt because when I eat something really fatty I walk slower.Materials:1 half gallon of vanilla ice cream1 timer1 stop watch1 ¼ measuring cup2 plates1 half gallon of slow churned vanilla ice creamProcedure:Scoop out exactly ¼ cup of each ice cream and make sure they have the same amount of ice cream in eachPut ice cream on platesSet plates side by side on the same tableStart the timerCheck ice cream every 20 minutesWhen either ice cream melts and has no chunks, stop timerMeasure and record the time it took for the ice cream to meltRepeat steps 3-7 for 2 more trials with new ice creamRepeat the experiment!Conclusion:My prediction was wrong. Looking at the data the average time it took for low fat ice cream to melt 47 minutes and 63 seconds but high fat ice cream melted an average of 43 minutes and 81 seconds. I now know that high fat ice cream completely melts faster than low fat/slow churned ice cream because in my investigation 43 minutes and 81 seconds is faster than 47 minutes and 63 seconds.
