Scoops of Joy

Cold, creamy, and delicious are some of the words used to describe one of the best desserts out there. Ice cream is always wanted, whether it be on hot and humid days or cold and rainy. This delicious frozen treat with its myriad of flavors gives it a versatility that not many other desserts have, and the added bonus of being easy to access does not make it hard to wonder why it is such a celebrated treat for all taste buds. It can be seasonal flavors like pumpkins or eggnog, or all time favorites like cookie dough and cookies and cream. No matter what flavor you want, there is an ice cream out there for you, even if you have dietary restrictions. Their popularity is so high, not many things can have grown adults screaming and smiling when they hear the famous tune of the ice cream truck, especially when you least expect one. 

We know about their versatility in flavors, but the creamy treat can also be consumed in multiple different ways. A simple scoop in a bowl is enough for some, but the temptation of milkshakes is too hard to resist for others. Coupled with other mouthwatering delicacies such as root beer floats and ice cream cake, this dessert truly has a claim to be the universal king of desserts. Whether it be a quick stop after a date or a lavish after-dinner treat, ice cream will forever be a luxury most cannot say no to. 

For most of us, ice cream is also one of the first desserts we have ever had. Tasting it for the first time as a child still sends waves of nostalgia to many, and for a lot of us asking what our favorite ice cream flavors was an easy ice breaker growing up. Wars have been fought between the big three in classrooms! However, regardless on if it was chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry, ice cream helps us remember the better times, and for adults ice cream still is associated with comfort and happiness, whether it be a celebratory treat or a cold pint to numb the pain. So, whether it be for joy or for comfort, ice cream will always be there for us when we need it.
