Ice cream is a universally loved dessert. A big part of its charm comes from its versatility. You can get ice cream in many different shapes and flavors, and here are some of the most interesting ones from around the world.
Gelato – Italy
Gelato has been popular for hundreds of years, even back in the 15th century. It’s soft, delicious, available everywhere and in dozens of flavors—what more could you want?
Mochi – Japan
Mochi is a Japanese dessert that looks similar to macaroons. It doesn’t melt thanks to the rice paste it’s wrapped with and it’s available pretty much in every Japanese city.
Spaghettieis – Germany
The Germans have a fun way to serve ice cream—as spaghettis. This fun dessert is made by pushing vanilla ice cream through a strainer then garnishing it with strawberry sauce and optional coconut flakes. The result looks just like a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese!
Dondurma – Turkey
When you visit Turkey, you can try their famous dondurma ice cream from the street carts. It’s made with salep and mastic and can only be tasted in this country. The texture is chewy and the dessert is insanely popular among tourists.
