National Soft Ice Cream Day

Get ready to scream, America! Aug. 18 is National Soft Ice Cream Day. Sweet!

Soft serve ice cream is a popular treat that has been eaten since the early 1900s. A special technique is used in machines to make the soft serve ice cream extra soft and creamy. Perfect for a summer-time snack, soft ice cream is available in all sorts of delightful flavors and is served in a cone or a dish.

While modern soft serve ice cream machines make making soft serve a snap, you can also make soft ice cream at home without using a special machine.
