Fruits on Ice Creams

I have a semi-vegetarian diet. I am fond of eating vegetables and fruits. For meat, cow or fish is enough. With deserts, its lovely to have vegetables or fruits on them too right? Even if its just the toppings or the main flavor for the dessert, it is perfect. Let us check out Ice creams or sundaes with fruits.

do not know what is this called. lol

 Honestly, I am in love with the picture above. The ice cream is simply unique from its color and from the way it has been frozen. I always wish that ice cream would be served as perfect as this. I guess this is strawberry ice cream? There is a question mark because I ain't sure. But if you can see around the ice cream, there are strawberries.

Whipped cream with fruits

 Oh yeah, this isn't an ice cream or sundae. It's a whipped cream with fruits. Look at that slice of kiwi and the strawberry. Well if you can see, there is a scoop of ice cream on top. Probably, it's mango flavored ice cream.

Yogurt with fruits

I love yogurt more than I love sundae. I believe the yogurt from the picture above is unflavored and I don't like it. However, unflavored yogurt with fruits, I mean a lot of fruits, it is no longer a plain yogurt. You know it tastes good when the juice and sweetness of the fruits blend on the yogurt. Maybe a little sour but the sweetness is still there.

This has a lot of fruits in it.

 It has cherry, kiwi, banana, pineapple and then on the other side, I can no longer what's in it. One siting and I am full with this. It has a single scoop of ice cream only, but the fruits is way more than a single scoop. I'd be full with this too. No more main dish, I'd have dessert ASAP.

Mango Ice cream

And my favorite always, Mango Ice cream. The way it is presented is simple. Served in plate and in three scoops and almost melting. I am even craving for an ice cream now because it's full bright yellow color.

How about you cravers, do you have any favorite ice cream with fruits on it?
Enjoy and Crave

Desserts

Julie and me in an ice cream parlor last year

I miss ice cream and dessert parlors. Last year, we often go to this local ice cream parlor 'Nothing but Desserts'. You will not like the prices, it's kind of expensive. But you will absolutely love what they serve. We love the gelato. The flavors aren't ordinary and the cakes too.

With the cakes and pastries in 'Nothing but Desserts'

All that was displayed in the parlor is just mouth watering. I have been craving for sweets this past few weeks. And if you have noticed, I have not posted anything since the last two weeks. I am busy with my new client for article writing too.

Sundae or Ice Cream?

Those that are served in cones, for me they are all ice cream. On the other hand, it was only in high school years that I was able to realize that not all of it are called ice cream. There are sundaes and gelatos, sorbet and frozen custard too. How do you differentiate sundae from ice cream?

The two are prepared and somehow made from the same ingredients. Milk, sugar, cream, fruits or other ingredients for flavor. A simple ice cream is served in cone. Like the photo below. I remember an ice cream man always on the street and his bell is ringing.

3 scoops of ice cream in cone

The first ice cream I have ever tasted was from the supermarket. It was also served in cone and that was fruit salad flavor. Later, I tried vanilla, macapuno, chocolate and cookies'n cream and more.

Cookies'n Cream flavored ice cream in cone

Sundae. I think I like sundae better than the usual ice cream. The difference is the texture. For me, sundae is more soft and melts faster in the mouth. I do not say that ordinary ice creams doesn't melt. Sundae is also a type of ice cream but unlike the ordinary ice cream, it has toppings mostly syrup glazed on top of it. Other would top some nuts and cherries, or even gummies 

Mocha and Vanilla Sundae

Strawberry and Vanilla Sundae

Look at these two following photos of ice cream yogurt and sundae served in cup. They look like candies but the candies are just on top. It adds more flavor and sweetness to the frozen desert. Additionally, it contributes to the pleasing appearance of the desert.

Sundae with gummies, jellies, m&m's, and fruits

Ice cream yogurt with sprinkles on top

The fact is, there is nothing really different from the two aside from their names and the spelling of their names. All of it are frozen deserts that makes our day brighter and cooler when the situation in our everyday lives is a little hot to handle.

What is your favorite sundae, or ice cream? Enjoy and Crave.

Ice Cream for Halloween

Do you want Pumpkin Ice Cream? photo credit to AntyDiluvian

Naive as I am, always, I do want to try Pumpkin Ice Cream. I have read from various reviews and comments, that a successful pumpkin ice cream should have the taste of pumpkin, as the main ingredient. Or rather the puree or the mixture of pumpkin must taste like pumpkin because the ice cream will not taste good either.

I've also learned that this ice cream is best to pair with gingerbread. Hmmm... sounds nice. I sound so naive too.

If you are interested in preparing Pumpkin ice cream for Halloween, here is a recipe from David Lebovitz.

Try checking the recipe section.

Ice Cream in Cone: For Kids Only?

How do you like your ice cream to be served? In cone, in cups, pots or in a bowl? However is the ice cream served, I would still go for it. I have shared a few pictures of ice cream in cones before, cones are made from wafer just like with waffle. There are kiddie cones, kiddie cup, big cones or giant cones and my favorite, sugarcones.

Display of ice creams in various types of cones.

Do you know who was the first person to make an ice cream cone? Neither do I. But as I have researched online, edible cones first existed in Europe during the World Fair in 1904. Later, it was introduced in America during the Saint Louis World's Fair.

Ice creams in cone

 Today, more variations of ice cream cones are available in the market. Sometimes I even have a hard time to think what cone I'd like mine to be served. Albeit sugarcone is my favorite, I still go with the giant cone.

Ice creams in cone, placed in rack

 Ice cream in cones are not only for kids. I always see kids going crazy and display tantrums when they can't have ice cream. I even notice that they won't accept the ice cream unless served in cone. Oh boy, it's hard to raise kids. Something just came to my mind. So, yeah. Ice cream in cones are also for young adults like me. Or even to senior citizens. It has been a usual way to serve ice cream.

Raspberry Ice Cream

Raspberry Ice Cream

Another natural fruits, made from raspberries. See that full red color, that makes it more special. I personally haven't tried this. So, I should not make any judgment about this ice cream. I have to be careful as well with what I am saying in here. lol.

Raspberry Ice Cream

This second photo is from Epic Baker. I love how Rene described her love for raspberries. I can't judge her, raspberries or any berries are one of life's best luxuries. They have anti-oxidants that helps cure illness or prevent any diseases like cancer. ok, enough of health. If you would like to know how to make raspberries ice cream, click the link of Rene below.

Chocolate Gelato

Chocolate Gelato with cones

One of the expensive deserts I have ever bought in my life is gelato. That was like a year ago. I tried it twice, for two flavors, in different dates. First was the Sans Rival and the other is caramel and vanilla. Seriously, it did not amaze me for the flavor or anything that makes it unique.

Strawberry Ice Cream

Strawberry Ice Cream

I tried this already. Creamy and sweet. But I am not a fan of strawberries. Lol. Anyone with reviews or opinions for this ice cream, please leave it below.

Lemon Sorbet

Lemon Sorbet

Sorbet is made from fruit puree, commonly. Also like ice cream, it is a frozen desert. It is known that this exist since the Roman times. I've tried one of like this before, not a fan.

Mango Ice Cream

Mango Ice Cream

One of my favorites. This should never be left behind in my list. Its sweetness is always a good feeling, that's what it contributes the most. Aside from that, it is natural and surely from fruits.

Banana Split with Vanilla Ice Cream

Banana Split with Vanilla Ice Cream

I have a number of banana splits saved on my laptop. This one is the simplest. The ice cream is actually a combination of chocolate and vanilla. The one on top is whipped cream and with cherries.

Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream

Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream

Silly me, I really do not remember at all where i got this. It has been long. For anyone out there who knows the owner of this, please leave me a message so we can ask him/her what is this really called.

Sundae topped with Fruits

Woah! This is really superb. Look at the fruits, isn't this a healthy desert. Natural fruits. There is kiwi, strawberry, orange, and more.

Eight Layers Sundae

8 layers Sundae

This is really unusual. Here in our place, sundaes are usually served in cone and are only about  2 to 3 layers tall. This one is superb. Looks like unbelievable for me, but hey, it is real.

Blue Ice Cream, Are they Real?

Blue Ice Cream

This is so rare. I haven't seen a blue colored ice cream yet. This is a product of Magnolia. Most of the blue ice creams are bublegum flavored, while this one from Magnolia. I can't find any other photo from Magnolia with blue colored ice cream. The results I get online is from Blue Moon. If you have tried this ice cream before, please share with us your review.

Ice Cream in Sugar Cone

Ice Cream in Sugar Cone

We are used to see ice cream in cones. Like me, I love to have my ice cream served on it. However, there are also various types of cones. My favorite is sugar cone. How it differs from other cone is the thickness. It does not melt easily and sweet in flavor compared with the ordinary cone. How about you, what is your favorite ice cream cone?

Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee Ice Cream

Like chocolate and mocha, I am not a fan of coffee flavored ice cream. Even of a plain coffee, I am not a fan of it either. I love this photo because the ice creams were perfectly scooped and placed in just a right place. I adore the person who took this photo, whoever you are.

Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

As I can remember, I got this from Gettyimages. This isn't a cake or a plain ice cream, but I love the photo as the pie is topped with an ice cream. One of the perfect deserts, ever.

Sundae topped with Cherry

Sundae topped with Cherry

I absolutely love sundae. It's soft and smooth and more velvety than the usual ice cream. When glazed with chocolate and brownies and sprinkles, it is more lovely.

Chocolate Ice cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Strawberry Ice Cream

Chocolate Ice cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Strawberry Ice Cream

Again, not a fan of chocolate and strawberry ice cream only for vanilla. These ice creams are commonly served in cones. What's your favorite ice cream cone? Mines, sugarcone. It's thick and does not melt easily.
