JAKARTA - The delicious and creamy taste makes ice cream one of the popular desserts for consumption. Its popularity makes many people try to change the taste and texture of different ice cream. Here are five of the most popular ice creams around the world because they have different flavors and textures.

Gelato

Gelato is a typical Italian ice cream made from whole milk, not cream, and does not contain eggs. Gelato is made by stirring slowly so that it produces a denser and less stretchy consistency. Gelato is available in a variety of flavors, but some popular choices are cream, cioccolato (chocolate), stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate specks) and pistachio (pistachios).

Kulfi

This traditional Indian ice cream is made by slowly heating sweetened milk until the sugar caramelizes and the milk condenses. This mixture is then frozen in a conical mold without being shaken or stirred first. As a result, the kulfi texture is denser and thicker than normal ice cream, almost resembling custard cream. Kulfi is often flavored with aromatics such as cardamom, saffron, and popular flavors of mango and pistachio.

Sherbet

Sherbet is an ice cream made from real fruits with a little milk and cream. Although sherbet is made with dairy, the taste of this dessert differs from other ice creams in that it contains only 1 to 2 percent milk fat, compared to the 10 percent milk fat found in it. In terms of texture, the sherbet is slightly softer and much lighter than normal ice cream.

Sorbet

Sorbet ice cream has a more natural taste than others because it does not mix cream in it. Only fruit, water and sugar are in this ice cream. Sorbet is suitable for those of you who like ice cream with a fresh taste.

Faloodeh

This Iranian ice cream is known to be unique because the ingredients consist of ice cubes, starch, syrup and rose water. Faloodeh is known to be unique because of its soft, porridge-like texture.

Rolled ice cream

This type of ice cream originated in Thailand and is a popular street food throughout Southeast Asia. Here, the standard ingredients (milk, cream, sugar) are heated, aerated and rapidly cooled to produce a Swiss-style ice cream roll that can be served upright in a cup and garnished with a variety of toppings.
