hile there’s no doubt that the best part of any meal is dessert, it is also true that dessert is delicious served any time of the day.
Ice cream is a sweetened, frozen treat that makes one of the very best desserts. Typically made with dairy milk or cream, in recent years, non-dairy options made with soy, coconut or almond milk have also become popular alternatives for those living a more healthy lifestyle. Did you know that ice cream’s origins are traced back to China? An ice cream-like food was first eaten in the country in 618-97AD, while a milk and rice mixture, frozen in snow, was invented even earlier around 200BC. Today, ice cream is enjoyed around the world and Thailand is no exception.
