Mr. Ngan is from Hong Kong, where he learned this method of making the dessert.
Ice cream is a cold dessert that can be found around the world.
At Blockheads Shavery Company, people do not see smoke. But they do hear the sound of ice cream being made. A block of ice is placed on a machine and then shaved. Supervisor Brian Liang says there are different kinds, or flavors, that include green tea and black sesame.
“We call is snow cream. It’s a cross between shaved ice, so it has the light airy texture, and the creamy taste of ice cream. The dessert is actually pretty popular in Taiwan. Basically the owners kind of grew up eating it.”
People looking for ice cream with flavors from the Middle East can find it at Mashti Malone’s Ice Cream Shop. Iranian American Mashti Shirvani has been making Persian-style ice cream at his store for 34 years.
“I do the old fashioned way when I make any food. I don’t measure it. Just my eyes and my hand.”
His ice cream creations include ingredients such as ginger, saffron, lavender, orange blossom, and rose water. While many of the flavors are Persian, Mr. Shirvani says his ice cream is not Persian. He explains that in Iran they make ice milk. But he uses cream, which has a higher level of fat.
Even with the differences in what goes into making ice cream, Mr. Shirvani’s brother, Mehdi, says ice cream appeals to everyone.
