Ice Cream
Americas favorite dessert!
Ice Cream in General
Ice cream is one of the world's favorite desserts! Although, many people think of it as unhealthy. What some don't know is that you can have low fat, low calorie, or low sugar ice cream. If you want to be extra healthy, you can eat frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt tastes just like ice cream, except it's less fattening.
Flavors and Toppings
There are endless possibilities of ice cream flavors. There's vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry if you want to go with the basics. If you want to make it more interesting you can go with mint chocolate chip, cookie dough, banana, pastachio, daquiri ice, rocky road, jamoca almond fudge, peanut butter cup, coffee, cherry amaretto, and millions of other choices. There are also a ton of topping choices. There's any type of candy bar, any kind of fruit, gummy bears, sprinkles, marshmallows, hot fudge, brownies, boboas, cool whip, and a ton of other topping concoctions.
