compare the price of ice cream

Where you can find the cheapest ice cream, this guide can help. I love ice cream, I will taste whatever ice cream I can found. Here are some of my favourite shops and listed their price for your reference. There price vary by location as well, but not much different. I found that the ice cream market is very competative which narrow their profit margin and their price. So you can see there is not much different in price between different ice cream shops. The cheapest is Wendys, however in my opinion the taste is not good as the others and with less variety. Gelatissimo is my favourite shop, their price is in middle range and with lots of fruity flavours, my favourite are mango and pistachio. Their fat free range is the best choice for ladies always looking after their figure. I can eat as much as I can without worrying putting on weight. I had listed some other shops I visit, they also got great ice cream range for everyone.

ICEPAN icecream



Have you heard of ICEPAN? ICEPAN is a icecream store that makes icecream for people just in front of their eyes. In March 2004, its creator called Dong H. Sul had an idea of making icecream that is healthy based on organic ingredients and no chemical. Plus, he had a creative idea of making icecream from scratch. He innovated a icepan for making icecream.



The advantages of ICEPAN icecream is:
-it is freshly made within about a minute
-it provides dairy choices: soy, nonfat, regular, whole
-it gives flexibilites to customer of choosing from 19 fresh toppings and 16 flavours of icecream

In comparison to ordinary icecream, ICEPAN icecream is very low in sugar, fat and cholesterol and no colour additives whereas oridnary icecream is extremely high in sugar, fat and cholesterol and most of them contains common color additives that are the compounded products of benzene from coal-tar and naphthalene. These additives can cause major damage to your digestive system, liver and kidney.


Here are the 16 flavours of icecream and 19 toppings ^^

Here are some videoes about ICEPAN and its creator :

Ice cream addition

Ice cream addition~~ ice cream addition is something you can add on ice cream to make the more tasty. There are three common ice cream additions. These are topping, sauces and cone.

Sauce is a sugar solution with different ingredients. The famous ice cream sauces are chocolate, toffee and coffee. You can buy ice cream sauce in supermarket easily. You just need to mix sauce with ice cream directly. Then you can enjoy it.


Topping are something you want to put on the top of ice cream. For example are Nuts, Fruit and chocolate. After you add topping to ice cream. You can enjoy wonderful flavor of ice cream.


Ice cream cone is very popular addition of ice cream. Ice cream cone is made of waffle. Children love ice cream cone very much because the cone likes cookies. Also they do not need spoon and dishes. They can eat the ice cream more convenient.

I love Dippin’ Dots' ice cream when the first time i saw it from advertising. It is attractive because   it 's tiny and colourful just like a small pea. The taste really sweet and not as creamy as normal ice cream. Dippin’ Dots is an ice cream snack invented in 1987 by Curt Jone. The most interesting thing which it's using liquid nitrogen  to mix with flash freezing ice cream. So no  conventional ice cream freezer required.

There are many favours in Dippin’ Dots'. I want to to show some of my favourite Dippin’ Dots'

Chillz-sour blue razz

The secreat of Dippin' Dots'

Dippin' Dot's ice cream can be make at home using liquid nitrogen. Below are some links which teach us how to use liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. Using liquid nitrogen can be very dangerous, that is why liquid nitrogen can only be obtained by persons showing knowledge of its properties and safety precautions for its use. Be very careful and have fun.

Home Ice cream

Home Ice cream
When I first came to Australia, I was surprised to see that there is home icecream. At first I did not think that it will taste good but after I tried it I think it is quite nice. Let me tell you about home icecream in Australia~
About Home Ice Cream
-
1959, a guy called Keith Reisinger, who was a refrigeration engineer in a Toowoomba dairy factory, decided to manufacture a superior ice cream using rich, Darling Downs milk from the region.  He made alternatives to major brands of ice cream from a small plant. And with the support of his wife, he established a factory to produce product for the Pixie brand and also other brands.
-
1988, Home Ice Cream was born!
Their principle is :
“a range of high quality products, vended each fortnight into customers' streets, at bulk saving prices.”
Product ranges
Their product ranges can be catorgorised as follow:

 1.2L Embrace, 2L Scoop, All Natural, Choc Coated, Cool Cube, Crunchy Cones, Cups, Desserts, Indulgence, Milk Bars, Novelty, Options Range / Last Days, Splits, Water Ices, Gluten Free, Nostalgia, Partially Gluten Free
 
Home icecream ususally comes with the sound of bells but lately I heard that it is not that bell sound but a music melody which is quite strange...anyways!~
Home Icecream will come every fornight and if you want to purchase, you can simply stand on the footpath and give the driver a friendly wave ^^ and then just make your choice!

Home icecream delivery is becoming more simpler now! They also have online ordering~ Here is their official website that you may want to check it out~!

Hello~ today, let me talk about some beverages which about ice cream. Did you listen “black cow”, “brow cow”, “ice float” or “spider”? These are name of the ice cream soda in different countries. But, what is ice cream soda?? Ice cream soda is a beverage that mixes soft drink and ice cream. This drink is created by Canadian in 1800s.

“Ice float” is name of this drink in England. And “black cow” is for Hong Kong. “Spider” is for Australia and New Zealand.

 There are three types famous ice cream soda. They are “Root Beer Float”, “Snow White” and “Black Cow”. Root Beer Float is that vanilla ice cream mix with root beer. Root beer is a soft drink very popular in America.


Also, Snow White is made of 7UP or Sprite and vanilla ice cream. It is famous in Asia. The last one is “Black Cow”. “Black Cow” is that add vanilla ice cream in Coke. It is because Coke is black color, so the mixture is called “Black Cow”.

Keep it simple~! Soft serve cone

Many of you should be familiar with McDonalds Soft serve cone! No matter in what seasons, you can find this ice-cream available nearly in everywhere!  You might know that it only costs $0.50 and the fact that only takes you few minutes to finish it off! Yes, it does have a very short life. You might not think about what it really is and where does it come from in the first place... so let me tell you some easy facts about soft serve ~
Soft serve is a type of ice cream that is softer than regular ice cream. That is why it is called soft serve. It is easy and simple and soft!
When enjoying soft serve, many people usually focus on enjoying the coldness that it provides but not the taste of it. Soft serve is generally lower in milk-fat than ice cream by 7 – 12 %. Unlike ice cream which is stored at −15 °C, soft serve is stored at temperature around −4 °C.  That is why it only lasts for a few minutes or not even when it comes to melting...                      
One other interesting fact is that there is air being injected or added to it when it is produced. Product with higher air content tastes creamier, smoother and lighter and appears whiter. What do you think of McDonalds’ soft serve? It is white and quite creamy I guess...
