Scorching sun draining you out? Confused about whether to settle on a brownie or fudge for dessert? There’s hardly any argument to debate on the fact that ice cream is easily one of the most preferred desserts. If you want to go easy on your pockets, ice cream; if you want to splurge, ice cream. This dessert is popularly known to be the ointment to a broken heart. Ice cream is comfort food and cool refreshment, both at once. Be it flavors, forms, or variations, dessert can be customized according to your own choice. We all have our own go-to flavor of ice cream, then there are times when we want to experiment too.
