This $20 ice cream is made with dairy grown in a lab—and it sold out immediately. (via CNBCMakeIt)

Perfect Day's cultured dairy is created by taking cow's milk DNA and adding it to a micro-organism like yeast to create dairy proteins, whey and casein, via fermentation. Those dairy proteins are then combined with water and plant-based ingredients to create a dairy substitute that can be used to make ice cream, cheese, yogurt and a slew of other dairy products.

Gandhi, 28, says the dairy substitute is nutritionally identical to cow's milk and tastes just like it. In fact, while Perfect Day Foods at least considers its product "vegan" and lactose-free , federal law actually requires them to put "contains milk" on any labeling because its protein is identical to cow's milk on a molecular level and could cause allergies.
