Foodies corner; Iced cream

Hi foodies,

I got a special something for y'all. Ice cream, did I mention that I love it. Let's get some fact down. Ice cream is a frozen treat that comes in hundreds of flavors. What’s your favorite flavor? Is it vanilla? That’s the most popular flavor by far. Chocolate ranks second in popularity while mine's barley, I so love the taste. Did you know that ice creams were originally served as desserts.

MAKING ICE CREAM

Making ice cream is pretty simple. It’s usually made from milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings. Mix it all together as you freeze it and you get ice cream. As the mixture begins to freeze you can then add extra ingredients like fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips. If you freeze the mixture, you get regular ice cream. Soft ice cream is just regular ice cream that isn’t fully frozen yet.

Some people make ice cream at home in an ice-cream mixer, a special kind of home freezer. But nearly all ice cream produced today is made by machines in ice-cream factories.

How many ways are there to eat ice cream? There’s the ice-cream cone, which was made popular at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. How about the ice-cream bar or the ice-cream sandwich? Do you like milkshakes? They’re made by blending milk with ice cream.

A fancier dessert is the ice-cream sundae. A classic sundae is ice cream served with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top, wait I got a thing for that cherry thing (winks). A banana split is a sundae served with a slice of banana on each side. You can even eat deep-fried ice cream. Yes, it’s really fried! Or you can just eat ice cream all by itself.

You know one thing I love about ice cream is that you can never get enough because of its different flavors. You’ve probably eaten vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Other favorite flavors include strawberry, cherry, peach, butter pecan, white chocolate,sweet cream and chocolate mint and many, many others. Ops... let's not forget baileys, my favorite. But have you ever eaten ice cream flavored with garlic or green tea? Some people do.
Ice cream comes in countless flavors. Imagine tasting burnt-caramel ice cream. How about coffee- or molasses-flavored ice cream? You can even buy ice cream flavored with rose petals! (LOL). Another fun fact is that ice cream can be served with different toppings. So what's your favorite ice cream toppings.
