It is rock hard when it gets to your seat. Not to mention the different sauces make for quite the potential mess. But with the combination of altitude and extremely frozen ice cream you will barely be able to taste it anyway. I would prefer something like a good quality cake, tart, cheesecake, etc. Save the ice cream for a nice local establishment after you arrive.
