Best Answer

There is some salt within the ice cream.

Completely wrong, if there was enough salt to limit freezing the ice cream would be so salty as to be inedible.

The very high concentration of sugar in ice cream acts as an antifreeze, preventing formation of the large ice crystals that would result in it freezing solid.
