So here we are the final post for this month’s mega marathon, ‘Explore the Flavors’. I have a sweet treat to celebrate the successful completion of the marathon. Ice cream is probably one of those treats that is sold as street food all over the world. So today I have a creamy and delicious Rainbow Dash Ice cream, which is nothing but chocolate ice cream served with sprinkles. My 5 year old found this Rainbow Dash Ice cream recipe in one of her ‘My Little Pony’ coloring books. She has been bugging me to make it ever since she saw it. She wrote the recipe and gave it to me twice and I misplaced it both times. Finally she ripped that sheet off the book and started walking around with it. I knew I had to give in at that point. So we bought the ingredients and she made the ice cream herself, with some help, of course.
Ice Creams around the World
Around the world, each country has it’s own version of ice cream, customizing the flavors to local tastes and preferences. India has Kulfi, it’s own desi version of ice cream. Italian ice cream is Gelato which is very traditional and popular street food in Italy. US is the largest consumer, about 23 liters of ice cream is consumed per person per year.
