No ice cream has ever tasted as good as that made in an
old fashioned ice cream freezer turned by hand and then
packed to harden. Probably because we had pure heavy cream
to make it with.
Now there are three brands that have exotic flavors. Braums ice cream our own home town brand wars with Blue Bell
and Baskin Robbins. The story of Braum's ice cream is one
of complete self sufficiency. Their dairy farm covers l5
square miles. They raise their own food and keep it uniform
all year round for their dairy cows. The cows are kept in
clean comfortable pens that they can move around in. The
processing takes place on the farm and they even make their
own containers there. They do not distribute more than
300 miles away from the plant for maximum freshness.
Ted's favorite flavor, Cherry pecans and cream is very
good and peppered with cherries. I love Dulce de Leche for
the caramel strips in it but new flavors pop up all the
time. Currently, I am eating blackberry almond and cream
in the frozen yogurt.
I was surprised to find that vanilla is preferred by the majority with chocolate second, strawberry third and
butter pecan fourth.
I love to bake but since Ted must have ice cream for dessert
I don't make many pies or cakes. My grankids love it too.
Ashley topped dinner off with three bowls of blackberry
almonds and cream.
