土耳其冰淇淋
土耳其冰淇淋(dondurma)堪稱(chēng)世界上最硬、最堅(jiān)韌、最有嚼勁的冰淇淋,也是唯一能用刀叉吃的雪糕。土耳其冰淇淋的售賣(mài)方式充滿趣味性,客人通常都會(huì)被售賣(mài)者逗弄好幾次才能拿到雪糕,就像周杰倫的《土耳其冰淇淋》這首歌里面的歌詞:“就像賣(mài)個(gè)冰,也能秀雜技。”土耳其冰淇淋的售賣(mài)方式為客人和孩子們提供了豐富的娛樂(lè)效果和開(kāi)心的購(gòu)買(mǎi)體驗(yàn),因此,土耳其冰淇淋不僅是一道可口的美食,更是一頓超乎尋常的視覺(jué)大餐,很受年輕人的喜愛(ài)。

按形態(tài)性質(zhì)分:冰淇淋分為軟質(zhì)和硬質(zhì)。軟質(zhì)的冰淇淋是指我們常見(jiàn)的甜筒或者圣代;硬質(zhì)的則是那種紙碗裝的冰淇淋、冰棒、雪糕、冰淇淋球等。
按品種分主要有三種:(1)美式冰淇淋(ice cream),主要特征:甜度較高,奶味濃郁,脂肪含量不低于10%。(2)“杰拉朵”(gelato),主要特征:甜度低,口感細(xì)膩潤(rùn)滑,脂肪含量為4%。(3)果汁冰糕(sorbet),主要特征:甜度低,突出的是水果的原味與芳香,口感清爽,無(wú)脂肪。
