My favorite dessert is ice cream, the sweetened frozen food mixed with toppings.
Oh ice cream is wonderful! Mint chocolate chip is my favorite!
I'm a chocolate fan myself. It is the 2nd most common flavor in the US behind vanilla.
I could see why that would be so. What other kinds are popular?
There are too many to list. If you can think it, it has probably been done. Ice cream is made from milk and cream, and combined with flavors.
It seems like we had an ice cream maker when I was a kid. How do they get it so cold so fast I wonder?
The old-fashioned machines stirred the cream in a bucket surrounded by ice to cool the mixture below the freezing point.
Cool, I never knew that! Isn't there something to do with salt in the ice cream making process?
Yes the salt lowered the melting point of the ice. Ice cream varieties include frozen custard, sorbet, and gelato.
I love me some gelato!
