When comparing ice cream for quality, but the ingredient list
looks the similar, compare the weight of a serving on the
nutrition label. Denser is better. The gums and fillers used in
lower quality ice cream are lighter than cream and eggs.
If one says a serving is 1/4 cup (65g) and the other says a
serving is 1/4 cup (73g), get the 73g one. They may both have
some fillers, but the denser one will have less.

National Ice Cream Month
July is National Ice Cream
Month, so here are a few ice cream facts.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared the third Sunday in July to be National Ice Cream Day and the month of July to be National Ice Cream Month.
Per capita ice cream consumption in the US is about 5 1/2 gallons.
It takes about twelve pounds of whole milk to make one gallon of ice cream.
French Ice Cream is enriched with egg yolks.
More ice cream is sold on Sunday than any other day of the week.
It takes 50 licks to finish a single scoop of ice cream.
The top five most popular ice cream flavors are: vanilla, chocolate, Neapolitan, strawberry, and cookies n' cream.
Vanilla makes up about twenty five percent of all ice cream sales.
Neapolitan ice cream is ice cream made up of blocks of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream side by side in the same container. Giuseppe Tortoni, a Neapolitan (living in Paris) created many layered ice cream cakes and the term Neapolitan was named after him.

Two Summer Ice Cream Tips
Ice cream two ways - one is to
slice it for serving the other is to put the whole carton in a
large freezer bag and it will not freeze so hard, so it is easier
to extract.

Top Twelve Ice Cream Facts
Since July is National Ice Cream
Month (created by Ronald Reagan in 1984) and (third Sunday in July
(July 21) is National Ice Cream Day), thought I would dish up a few
frozen goodie facts.
Ice cream has the following composition by weight: greater than 10% milkfat by legal definition, 9 to 12% milk solids-not-fat, 12 to 16% sweeteners, 0.2 to 0.5% stabilizers and emulsifiers, 55% to 64% water which comes from the milk or other ingredients.
The history of ice cream dates back to the second century B.C.
The ice cream cone was invented in 1896 with a patent being issued in 1903 to Italo Marchiony.
The United States is the top ice cream consuming country in the world.
It takes 12 lbs. of milk to make a gallon of ice cream.
Vanilla is the number one selling flavor at 27.8%, followed by chocolate 14.3%, strawberry 3.3% (hot dog flavored ice-cream is made by Udder Delights in Arizona).
Chocolate syrup is the favorite topping to put on ice cream.
The major ingredient in ice cream is air.
Depending on conditions of storage, ice cream might last one year, or it might be two weeks or less.
PETA urged Ben & Jerry's to replace cow's milk in its ice cream with human breast milk.
In the late 19th century, America's soda shops bowed to pressure from local churches to not serve ice cream sodas on Sundays. They removed the soda from the recipe and invented the ice cream sundae.
Ice cream is made from milk fat and milk solids. Sorbet is non-dairy and usually high in sugar. Yogurt is usually tart with low or no fat milk substitute. Custard is rich and smooth with lots of egg in it.
An average dairy cow can produce enough milk in her lifetime to make a little over 9,000 gallons of ice cream.
July is also National Grilling Month.

Ice Cream Trick
Ice cream is good for your tongue, but if
you put it in the freezer it gets hard as a rock. Next time, put the
carton in a plastic bag. It will be much softer when you take it out
so you do not need to bend your spoon.

More Uses for Marshmallows
Stash a few marshmallows in a
box of brown sugar or the sugar bowl to prevent the sugar from
hardening or clumping.
Make ice cream cones less messy by sticking a few marshmallows in the bottom of the cone to prevent the ice cream from leaking out.
Eat three or four marshmallows to sooth a sore throat. Apparently, the gelatin is very helpful when it comes to relieving irritation and soothing pain in your throat.

Vanilla Truth
Vanilla comes from a special species of
orchid. Consuming natural vanilla causes the body to release
catecholamines, including adrenalin and for this reason it is
considered to be mildly addictive.
When vanilla plants were first exported from Mexico to other tropical climes, they flowered, but wouldn’t produce vanilla pods. It was discovered that a bee native to Mexico was the only creature that could pollinate vanilla flowers.
Attempts to move the bee to other countries failed and it was not until a slave boy discovered a method of artificial pollination that Mexico lost its monopoly on vanilla. As well as being mildly addictive, vanilla has also been found to block bacterial infections. Ice cream with real flecks of vanilla beans (and maybe some bacon bits) is probably doubly addictive.

Ice Cream is Good For You
Ice-cream is a low GI (glycemic-index) food. This means that it is a slow sugar release food that keeps you satisfied for a longer period of time than a high GI food. For that reason, you are less likely to binge after eating ice-cream.
Nutrients in ice-cream are biotin, iodine, potassium, selenium, vitamins a, b12, D, and K. 75 grams of Ben and Jerry’s Cookies and Cream ice-cream contains only 114 calories compared to a slice of cheesecake with 511 calories.

Ice Cream
Soon it will be time to sit around the pool and bring out the ice cream. The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero, A.D. 37-68,, who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang, A.D. 618-97, of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.
After the dessert was imported to the United States, it was served by several famous Americans, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776.
American colonists were the first to use the term "ice cream". The name came from the phrase "iced cream". The edible ice cream cone made its American debut at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.
