Ice Cream Flavors for the Adventurous Sweet Tooth
Ice cream is one of the world’s most beloved desserts and snacks, enjoyed by people of all ages, genders, and cultures. Whether a single scoop of classic flavors or handcrafted gourmet creations, you will find a flavor that satisfies your sweet tooth. If you consider yourself a connoisseur or just an average fan, it is hard not to appreciate all the different types of frozen desserts. Here are a few kinds of ice creams. When milk is slowly heated with sugar until the sugar caramelizes and the milk thickens, the result is Kulfi, a traditional Indian ice cream. The slurry is then either stirred before freezing in conical molds or not. Thus, Kulfi is thicker, creamier, and custard-like than American ice cream, making it ideal for serving on a stick. Kulfi is often flavored with spices such as cardamom, rose, or saffron; popular flavors include mango and pistachio. Kulfi can be served in cones or popsicles. This dessert often appears as a cultural dessert along with noodles.
Sorbet is a dairy-free frozen fruit snack. Sorbet traditionally consists of only two ingredients: fruit puree and sugar, and then whipped and frozen in the same way ice cream is made. Being dairy-free explains the sorbet’s tough, flaky texture and the fact that it serves as a dessert and a palate cleanser mid-course. Sometimes alcohol is included in the recipe to lower the freezing point and create a smooth, icy texture.
Rolled ice cream originates from Thailand and is a popular street food throughout Southeast Asia. Here, the common ingredients, milk, cream, and sugar, are heated, aerated, and rapidly cooled to create Swiss ice cream rolls that can be served straight in a cup and garnished with various toppings. It is interesting to watch the process, and the finished product’s taste is as good as the shape. Even more impressive is that the whole process only takes about 2 minutes.
