I have accidentally picked up a dried cat turd when younger, thinking it was rock. It was a bit fragile, easily break into dust. I realized it because it was not as heavy as an actual rock of the same size.

Based on that, my unscientific conclusion is that even if it's frozen, it'll be hard to shape and easily breaks because it behaves more like dust/sand instead of cream.
