Thus why the texture is super creamy because of it. What is frozen custard? It is pretty much an ice cream however, on top of cream and sugar, eggs were also added. Even though frozen custard is not as trendy as the other types of frozen dessert, it can hold its own place in the ice cream world. Yet, despite the trends, I love my frozen custard too. Places like "Pink Berry" and "Red Mango" are popping out every where. Now, it is the time of the frozen yogurt. I remember several years back when gelato was so trendy. Because of those efforts, now we're blessed with gelato, soft serve, frozen yogurt, dip n dots, and frozen custard. Regional types that were not so known also got discovered and made popular worldwide. They developed the same concept of frozen churned cream from trying to obtain different textures and consistency to creating creative flavors, branching out using different base ingredients, and coming up with new forms. People like ice cream so much, they developed different types of it. So, it is really not that strange that ice cream can hold a special place in one's heart. Ice cream entered our life at a quite early age - perhaps since our toddler bodies were ready to digest milk who didn't come from mom. Well, me going off on a tangent there was to paint a picture of how ice cream could have a deep impact in one's life. But, it still holds a special place in my heart and I thank my uncle Paul for all the scoops he bought me. I have gone through my friends' mockeries of my taste in ice cream too when I bought Neapolitan in the past. I still buy Neapolitan ice cream to this day though I have learned of better ice cream flavors from the fun Cherry Garcia to Humphry Slocombe's prosciutto ice cream. However, my all time favorite was the regular scoopable ice cream that the ice cream man would scoop and put on a cone. The drumsticks were the most expensive ones and we would be pushing our luck if we asked for one. The ice-cream man had various different things in his freezer chests - some like the normal ice creams that current ice cream men would have today: vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate, the drumsticks, popsicles, and also some traditional Indonesia flavors such as coconut, mung beans (kacang ijo), etc. There was also a rarer brand called "Campina" that I used to love. Ice cream "Woody" as we called it, as the ice cream's brand bore the Woody Woodpecker cartoon character as its mascot, was our favorite. He had a bicycle that has been improvised to include two freezer attachments as side cars. The ice cream man didn't have a truck like the ice cream man here. My cousins, sisters, and I would go absolutely insane when we heard the ice cream man's horn tooting. However, no matter how mean my uncle Paul was, one childhood memory of him I still treasure to this day is when he bought us kids ice cream when the ice cream man passed my grandma's house. He would tell me if I didn't do such and such, he would lock me up in this little storage room under the stairs in my grandma's house. Ri even aspired to be a cop when she was young so she would have a gun to shoot him. Thinking about ice cream made me think of my uncle Paul. The few people who don't like ice cream more than likely are the exception with specific taste and boundaries. Oh, yeah.ice cream is many people's best friend. Pleasant happy thought will pop in most people's head when they hear the word "ice cream." What's not to like? It is something cold, creamy and rich, with familiar flavor/s that surely can get rid any malady or depression in an instant.
