Ice Cream
The Delectable
Dairy Dessert
If there’s one dessert that most
Americans favor over any other,
it’s ice cream. Cool, rich, and satis
fying, it’s a delicious way to cool
off on a hot summer’s night. How
ever, a true aficionado will tell you
ice cream is just as right in the dead
of winter.
No one is quite sure when ice
cream was discovered, but by the
eighteenth century everyone had
fallen in love with the creamy con
coction. At the turn of the century,
ice cream with toppers became a
Sunday substitute for ice cream
sodas, which were desired but not
allowed on the Sabbath. Soon the
subtitute was called a sundae.
It is only fitting that we bring
June dairy month to a close by fea
turing this delightful dairy dessert.
Read on to discover the delectable
ice cream recipes submitted by
