A Look At The Variety Of Options For Choosing A Frozen Dessert
If you’re looking for a frozen dessert and you live somewhere in the United States, you are certainly far from alone. After all, regular frozen desserts are actually enjoyed by up to 90% of all households found just within this one country alone, let alone elsewhere in the world where such things are also quite likely to be commonplace. But how do you pick the right frozen dessert when there are so many out there just waiting to be enjoyed? For many people, the decision is actually a much more difficult one than you might think.
If you’re looking to stay on the healthier side of things, consider frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt cups can now be found in the more than 2,500 frozen yogurt shops that have sprung up all throughout the United States, all by the time that the year of 2019 had drawn to a close. In the years since, only more and more have come into being. For many people, frozen yogurt shops are actually a lot of fun as well. After all, frozen yogurt shops tend to offer you the option not only to choose your flavor, but to dole out your toppings as well. For a great many people, this independence is a great influencing factor in deciding where to go for a frozen dessert.
But just as the frozen yogurt cup has risen in prominence, so too has the gelato cup. A gelato cup is something that can now be found in many places all throughout the United States. After all, the gelato cup is popular on a global scale and there are many similarities between the gelato cup and a cup of ice cream. And while the average gelato cup will have no more than 8% total milk fat, the typical gelato cup will be much more dense than the typical ice cream cup. This is due to the fact that the churning process for ice cream includes up to 50% air, while the churning process for gelato, while similar, incorporates only around 30% air at the very most, sometimes dipping as low as 25% air churned in. Therefore, the decadency of a gelato cup is not in any way lessened even though your average gelato cup will have far less milk fat in it than an ice cream cup will.
But just because a gelato cup has less fat in it does not mean that ice cream cannot be enjoyed on a regular basis – after all, all things in moderation, as the saying goes. For more than 85% of all American households of all kinds, as a matter of fact, at least one carton of some type of ice cream is kept within the freezer at all times – even outside of the summer months, when more ice cream is consumed than ever (June sees the most ice cream sales throughout the country). Ice cream is an American tradition, one that has been around for a very long period of time. Even ice cream comes have been in use for well over a century, since the first one was developed more than 100 years ago, back in the year of 1904. For a great many people, the consumption of ice cream is not just a great and enjoyable treat to have, but even a way to connect with friends and family members, plus a delicious way to cool down on a hot summer’s day – something that certainly cannot be discounted by any means.
At the end of the day, there is no one right or wrong way to enjoy a frozen treat – and far from just one type of frozen treat to enjoy. From the ice cream cone to the gelato cup to frozen yogurt and more, there are many out there to enjoy in moderation. For many people, such things are a staple part of life – and might even play a key role in important memories, such as those that stem back to childhood. At the end of the day, we all love ice cream and we love gelato and many of us even now love frozen yogurt.
