Popular Ice Cream Cones

frostbite — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:26:26 +0000

A scoop of cold ice cream on a hot night is the ultimate delight. It’s delicious on the tongue and cools the body. For many people, the only way to eat ice cream is in a cone. Traditions vary widely and the scope of ice cream cones may surprise you.

Wafer/Cake Cones

Flat on the bottom, it eliminates the leaking problem of the truly cone shaped ice cream holder. It’s flaky, offers a softer crunch than other types, and is typically the first cone to which children are introduced. Wafer cones are neutral in flavor, making them an ideal choice for really intense ice cream flavors.

Waffle Cones

The waffle cone is often called the “fancy” version of a sugar cone. It features the signature waffle design and is highlighted by a top edge that’s uneven. They’re a little bit softer and bigger than a sugar cone and have a higher sugar content than sugar cones.

Sugar Cones

Often mistaken for a waffle cone, it has waffle marks but is slightly smaller than a waffle cone. They have a satisfying crunch, but can be brittle. Even all around the top, they’re sturdy and don’t get soggy. Most modern sugar cones have a “plug” of chocolate at the pointy end of the cone to help mitigate leaking.

Pretzel cones

A trend that comes from Philadelphia, PA, pretzel cones combine the crisp and salty crunchiness of a pretzel that blends well with ice cream flavors. The pretzel cone grew out of a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of dipping pretzels in ice cream. Created by a dentist, pretzel cones have been available since 1986.

Puffle Cones

A relative newcomer on the ice cream scene, they’re also known as Hong Kong waffles. Puffle cones are actually a common egg-based street snack cooked in a special waffle mold and folded into a cone shape. The exterior is slightly crisp and features a light, airy and chewy inside that’s pleasing to the palate. Resembling edible bubble wrap, they’re typically eaten warm as a counterpart to the coldness of the ice cream and served in a cardboard holder.

The Classics: The Malted Milk

frostbite — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:16:27 +0000

The classic malted milk celebrated as a staple of the 1950s has been altered over the years to reflect changing tastes. Commonly known as a “malted,” it’s retained its thick and creamy texture and now bears the name of milkshake. Popular with kids and adults alike, the malted milk began its life in American history as infant formula.

Its creation is credited to pharmacist, James Horlick, who came to Racine, WI in 1873. He and his brother, William, patented the formula and trademarked “malted milk” in 1887 as a drink for infants and invalids. It became an indispensable staple of explorers. It was lightweight, highly portable, nourishing, and non-perishable. The British Indian Army took it with them into battle during World War I.

The explorer, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, took it with him during his explorations and named a mountain range after Horlick. When he returned to his native England, Horlick was made a baronet in honor of his accomplishment.

Historians credit the invention of the blender as a defining moment in the evolution of the malted milk. The appliance allowed a variety of ingredients to be combined together without the exhausting work of hand mixing. It’s said that Walgreen employee, Ivar “Pop” Coulson, first mixed ice cream into the blend when he ran short of another ingredient, thus creating the first malted milk in 1922 Chicago.

The heyday of the malted milk was the 1950s and the sweet beverage could be found at every diner, burger joint, and pharmacy lunch counter. Much of the confusion about the drink comes from the diversity of the U.S. lexicon. It was known as a malted milk, milkshake or shake depending on the region. Concrete was a shake so thick it wouldn’t drip even if it was held upside down.

Malted milk has diverged substantially from its roots as Horlick’s dry infant formula. The malted milk is commonly called a milkshake, but it still evokes a nostalgia associated with the 1950s, poodle skirts, and soda shops. Today’s malted milks often harken back to their even earlier roots when they were hand-shaken and whiskey was a predominant ingredient. At one point, the CIA even attempted to weaponize the delicious drinks.

Are You Vanilla or Chocolate?

frostbite — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 00:48:55 +0000

The debate over vanilla or chocolate ice cream has raged as long as the two flavors have existed. Baskin-Robbins even teamed with nationally recognized taste and smell expert, Dr. Alan Hirsch, to get insight into customer characteristics.

Vanilla

People that prefer vanilla were found to be idealists, more impulsive and cooperative. They’re great team players. Vanilla fans also tend to rely more on their intuition than logic, and that can make them risk-takers. They tend to have close and successful relationships. Vanilla lovers are emotionally expressive and never leave anyone in doubt as to their true feelings.

Fans say that the light and sweet flavor of vanilla is comforting. People with a taste for vanilla strive for balance and peace in their everyday life. They fully enjoy living in the moment, but they’re more likely to dress up their selection with sprinkles and other accessories. They’re loyal, confident, have a sense of humor, and enjoy the simple, classic things in life.

Chocolate

Chocolate lovers were discovered to be very charming, flirtatious and seductive. They were also more dramatic and gullible. Fans of chocolate ice cream are lively individuals that are typically ready for any new experience and tend toward lives in which joy and self-love play an integral part. Those that like chocolate are realists.

One advantage that chocolate fans especially liked is that milk chocolate ice cream has more anti-oxidants than vanilla and dark chocolate contains more than milk chocolate. Dark chocolate also has more caffeine. People say they prefer it since it’s available in so many subtle taste variations and offers a more energetic flavor. They view it as a smooth, silky and decadent treat.

Ice Cream and Cones

The Baskin-Robbins research also yielded some other interesting facts. People that prefer their ice cream in a cone are optimists. Sugar cone enthusiasts are funny, life-of-the-party types that tend to be performers. Those that love waffle cones are more likely to host a party than attend one and have nurturing personalities.

The Classics: Neapolitan Ice Cream

frostbite — Sun, 19 May 2019 22:01:26 +0000

Neapolitan ice cream – that delicious blend of strawberry, vanilla and chocolate – has an international ring to the name and its true origins are still debated. Neapolitan was the moniker given to the combined ice cream flavors in honor of its supposed Italian origins.

The first known recipe for a three-flavored ice cream comes from the head chef of the Royal Prussian household in 1839. The first Neapolitan ice cream from Italy contained pistachio (green), strawberry (red) and vanilla (white) in honor of the Italian flag.

When the dessert moved to the U.S., chocolate was substituted for pistachio as it was one of the “big three” flavors most popular throughout the nation. Neapolitan was the first to combine three flavors in a single package and was introduced to U.S. ice cream fans in the 19^th century.

In some areas of the world, it’s known as harlequin ice cream, more closely resembles gelato, and may combine ice cream with layers of fruit and other sweets. In 1885, specific “rules” for the cutting of Neapolitan ice cream were laid out. It was to be served thinly sliced so each person received a portion of each flavor. In other locales, it could include cake or brandy-flavored bread served between the layers of ice cream.

In the early 19^th century, the sale of ice cream as a favored dessert began to decline in Europe. In an effort to bolster sales, European ice cream makers introduced spumoni to the U.S. in the 1870s and it quickly morphed into the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla that’s known today.

Frostbite Nitrogen is continuing that spirit of innovation with ice cream infused with nitrogen or alcohol, light bulb smoothies, dragon breath snacks, and billionaire-golden Oreo ice cream sandwiches. The steampunk-themed ice cream shop offers an array of toppings for over 3 billion combinations no matter what flavor is your favorite.

Where Did the Waffle Cone Come From?

frostbite — Fri, 17 May 2019 00:47:28 +0000

As with all great inventions, the waffle cone is surrounded by controversy. If science is correct, the essence of the waffle cone began in the Neolithic period as a prototype cake that was often used as a portable holder for everything from meat to vegetables. Throughout history, it was made in different sizes and from various ingredients, but it retained its crisscross pattern throughout.

Fast forward to the 1904 World’s Fair where a Syrian concessionaire named Ernest Hamwi was making pastries, one of which was zalabia. He was positioned next to an ice cream vendor who ran out of glass cups to sell his frozen ices and the two collaborated, selling the ices in the deep-fried treats.

However, in 1903 Hoboken resident, Italo Marchiony, was a street vendor selling lemon ices on Wall Street. The ices were sold in glass cups that were supposed to be returned to the vendor, but the busy Wall Street traders typically walked away with the cups and never returned them. The loss of the cups was cutting into Marchiony’s profits.

The solution was an edible cup. He’d been working on a device to make ice cream cones since 1896. Marchiony filed for a patent in 1902 and it was granted in 1903. His waffle cones were a hit everywhere they were sold.

According to the Hoboken Historical Museum, Hamwi was an exhibitor at the World’s Fair and he was making zalabis when Marchiony asked Hamwi to roll some of the zalibis so he could use them as cones for his ice cream. According to the Museum, Marchiony was also responsible for the first ice cream sandwiches.

Today, people can choose from cake cones, sugar cones and waffle cones. It’s said that the type of cone a person chooses is an indicator of their personality. Waffle cone fans will be happy to know that they’re fun, enthusiastic, independent, and enjoy the finer things in life.

A Must Try – Our Billionaire Golden Oreos

frostbite — Fri, 17 May 2019 00:37:15 +0000

If you’ve ever dreamed of dining like a millionaire or an Egyptian pharaoh, Frostbite Nitrogen has just what you want. The ice cream shop’s Billionaire Golden Oreo Sandwich is dusted in edible gold and filled with custom ice cream flavors to suit any sweet tooth.

Frostbite Nitrogen is the latest innovators of the ice cream sandwich, a treat that’s been delighting kids and adults since 1899. It all began with a vendor in the Bowery of New York that placed ice cream between two milk biscuits. The ice cream sandwich transitioned to vanilla ice cream between chocolate wafers in 1945 that was sold at Forbes Field and became the ice cream sandwich that people are familiar with today.

Enter the Oreo Biscuit on March 6, 1912. The name was changed to Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie in 1974. Sold in over 100 countries, the cookie’s crème filling has included strawberry, lemon, chocolate and mint, but vanilla is the all-time favorite. The origin of the name Oreo is unknown, but it’s speculated the name is derived from the French word for gold.

Speaking of gold, the rare and noble metal was used in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs. It was added to medicinals of all kinds in medieval times. Food grade gold is safe to eat and has been used by chefs in fine dining establishments to add a dramatic effect to cuisine ranging from pastries to meat dishes, along with cocktails and desserts. At Frostbite Nitrogen, it’s a unique dessert treat.

Frostbite Nitrogen wants everyone to experience the sensation of dining like a king and the ice cream shop’s Billionaire Golden Oreo Sandwich is a tasty way to enjoy a custom ice cream flavor between two Oreo cookies and liberally dusted with one of the most highly sought noble metals in the world. It’s pure 24 karat gold magic.

Popular Twists on Ice Cream

frostbite — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 01:57:05 +0000

Ice cream is a popular treat anytime of the year and people have gone to great lengths to improve on the frozen sweet. Innovative ways to serve ice cream began with fruit and drizzles of honey and the ways ice cream is served has continued to evolve. The curious and the adventurous may want to explore these innovative and futuristic gourmet twists.

Nitrogen-Touched

Frostbite Nitrogen is among the modern innovators to infuse ice cream with a small touch of nitrogen that flash freezes the confection and gives it a consistency that’s exceptionally smooth and creamy. An added bonus is that the ice cream shop features steampunk-themed décor.

Booze-Infused

From whiskey and rum to vodka and Irish crème, the range of alcohol-infused ice cream flavors continues to grow. The flavors are exquisite and are duplicates of popular cocktails with names like Mango Margarita, Java Chip Mojito and Cake Batter Vodka Martini. While booze-infused ice cream at Frostbite Nitrogen won’t intoxicate, it’s an ideal summer cooler for adults.

Fried Ice Cream

For those that think everything tastes better fried, there’s fried ice cream. The frozen treat is first encased in a batter or coating that can range from cinnamon-flavored cornflakes to vanilla wafers. It insulates the ice cream while the coating achieves a golden brown appearance.

Rolled Ice Cream

One of the newest sensations arriving in the market is rolled ice cream. Creating the confection is equal parts of thinly spread ice cream and performance art technique. Ice cream is combined with custom flavors and thinly spread on a cold surface. An “ice cream artist” uses a spatula to form ice cream into rolls that are placed vertically in a cup. It can be served with fruit, drizzles and toppings. It’s a variation of a tasty Thailand treat.

Try Something Different

Trendy ice cream options abound and it’s well worth taking the time to try something new. Individuals can enjoy mochi ice cream, a concept from Japan that features ice cream in a sweet rice paste that can be consumed by hand without a spoon. There are also ice cream churros or cups of uniquely flavored ice cream crafted into the shape of flowers. Whatever the flavor or the form it takes, ice cream remains the number one dessert choice.

Fresh Ingredients = Great Taste

frostbite — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 01:36:44 +0000

The most important element for great tasting ice cream is fresh ingredients. More ice cream shops are turning to locally-sourced fruits, nuts, and even vegetables to create cold confections that are tasty, healthy and help support their local communities. An added advantage is that ice cream enthusiasts enjoy a true taste experience free of undesirable additives.

Once considered one of the most decadent of indulgences, ice cream is now readily available around the world and it actually provides some key nutrients the body needs that include calcium, B vitamins and potassium. Those benefits are increased with fresh ingredients and taste is enhanced.

Ice cream enthusiasts can enjoy new and unique flavors year-round thanks to an ever-revolving array of seasonal fruits as they come in season, depending upon the area of the country the ice creamery is located. Strawberries and blueberries are the most common fruits added to ice cream, but there are also raspberries, blackberries, along with bananas, mangoes and kiwis to be considered.

The ingredients are essential whether the confection is consumed as fresh ice cream or used to make ice cream bread. While many companies use real fruit in their frozen treats, those ingredients may also contain flavorings, stabilizers, emulsifiers and other chemicals to preserve the fruit until it’s actually used. The resulting ice cream will have a pleasing taste and approximate a specific flavor, but there’s a distinctly noticeable difference in those crafted with fresh ingredients.

Ice cream crafted with farm fresh berries and direct from the dairy milk has a richer, more full-bodied flavor. In search of that unique quality, many people have turned to home ice cream makers to obtain the taste they desire. Fortunately, many ice cream shops have turned to locally-sourced fresh ingredients to make their confections.

Rather than buying from mass producers, these forward-thinking ice cream shops make their own ice cream in small batches utilizing fresh milk, fruit and juices. It enables the purveyors of the sweet treat to produce unique, gourmet flavors free of artificial additives while supporting the economies of their local communities.
