August 19th
National Soft Ice Cream Day

Soft ice cream, also known as soft serve, is a type of ice cream that is made using a special machine that incorporates air into the mixture while it is being frozen. This gives soft serve its characteristic light and creamy texture. Soft serve is made using many of the same ingredients as traditional ice cream, including milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate. However, the mix is chilled and then pumped through a machine that adds air as it freezes. This creates a soft, smooth texture that is lighter than regular ice cream. Soft serve ice cream can be served in cones, cups, or as part of a sundae. It is often available in a variety of flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and coffee. Some soft serve machines also allow for the addition of mix-ins, such as candy pieces or cookie crumbles, to create custom flavors. Soft serve is a popular dessert treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It can be found at many ice cream shops, fast food restaurants, and other food service establishments.
