Happy Delicacies 

This is for all my readers who have a sweet tooth, like I do. Only we can understand what it is living without chocolates, ice creams and desserts. I often hear people saying , “oh I am consuming calories”. Well, may be they have some extra calories, that add on to those extra pounds but they have some good things too which help simulate happy hormones J , they can pump up your mood even in those boring afternoons at work !! Lets talk some good things about the yummy ice creams  J

Ice Creams:

·         Frozen Dessert made from dairy products.

·         Flavourings and sweetners such as sugar

·         Frozen Custard, Ice Milk and other similar products

Dietary Facts :

• ·         Minimum Of 10 % milk fat
• ·         9 %-12 % milk solids
• ·         12 %-16 % sweeteners
• ·         0.2 %-0.5 % stabilizers and emulsifiers

Now that these are some cool and relieving numbers, I am sure my friends who thought calorie intake is high, should agree with me that it isn’t a bad idea to have it sometimes..:)

As I discussed, different cuisines in my last post, Ice cream too has different variations in different countries, but primarily made up of same products like milk, sugar and flavorings.

Italy :- Gelato made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring.  Dessert having a lower milk fat content than ice cream.
