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...
