Given that ice cream is a cold dessert, having a day celebrating a food often associated with warm summer days in the middle of one of the coldest months of the year may seem a trifle odd. Still, ice cream desserts are popular all year round, even if ice cream cones may be rather less common in December.
Ice cream is, usually, made from milk or cream that is flavoured, sweetened and then frozen. Different flavours of ice cream - and there are many, many flavours, from the plain to the bizarre - come in different colours, the colours often associated with the flavour. Ice cream can mean different things to different people, even though such as frozen yoghurt is considered to be a separate food. Ice cream can be eaten on its own, but is also used in a wide range of other dishes, from drinks to sundaes to milkshakes to cakes to hot dishes, such as Baked Alaska.
