So today while I was out shopping with my family, we stopped at a place to get lunch. And guess what?? They had soft serve ice cream!! I was so excited and knew I had to get it. I love soft serve ice cream, I even ate it before I ate my lunch. Soft serve ice cream is so good! I think I like it so much more than regular ice cream is because it is softer, smoother, and lighter which makes it all that more refreshing! Sometimes when I am eating regular ice cream i purposely let it melt a little bit so it will taste more like soft serve ice cream.
Because I love soft serve ice cream (wow I use that word a bunch) so much I decided to do a little research on it. Which means consult Wikipedia! In school they won't let us use Wikipedia because they think it is not a credible source since anybody can write on it. But since school is out I can use Wikipedia as much as I want! Anyway it seems to me that the main differences between regular ice cream and soft serve ice cream, is soft serve has less milk-fat, is kept at a warmer temperature, and has more air in it. I also learned that soft serve ice cream was first sold in 1938 by the co-founders of Dairy Queen.
Thanks for reading! ~Meera
