This Ice Cream is a “Big Dill!”

Dill pickle ice cream?! Yes! And it took home Calgary Stampede’s best “I’m Kind of a Big Dill” award this past July with the help of Desert “Cool” Foods, Inc. So Cute Ice Cream’s Dill Vanilla Ice Cream featured our AZ-800 Vanilla FreezePoint® Gourmet Soft Serve infused with essence of cucumber, garnished with dill and a small pickle atop a dill-sprinkled cone. Calgary Herald reporter Sammy Hudes tried it and described it as “…a pleasant surprise. The texture of the ice cream almost resembled a sorbet, with a mild, calming flavour that was fitting of the cucumber essence I was promised.” We’re pleased and proud to be a part of this creative concoction.

Self-billed as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, Calgary Stampede is an annual rodeo, exhibition, and festival that draws over one million visitors each year.

A Few Fun Facts About Soft Serve Mix

Fun Facts About Soft Serve MixHere’s some interesting soft serve mix trivia for you…

  • When given a choice, consumers will choose soft serve mix 7 out of 10 times over hard ice cream.
  • While many ice cream products have a fat content of between 10 and 18 percent, soft serve mix fat levels are usually between 3 and 6 percent.
  • Aside from the lower fat content and higher temperature than hard ice cream, the main reason soft serve mix is, well, soft, is because it contains a lot more air than traditional ice cream. Called “overrun,” it’s what makes soft serve so fluffy, compared to a “super premium” ice cream which has a very low overrun.
  • A typical soft serve mix cone has 35% air (overrun). So, a 4-ounce soft serve mix cone by weight will appear to be about 6 ounces soft serve mix cone by volume.

The History of Soft Serve

Soft ServeAs the story goes, on Memorial Day weekend of 1934, Tom Carvel, the founder of the Carvel brand and franchise, had a flat tire in his ice cream truck. As a savory business person, he began selling his melting ice cream to cars driving by. What started as a potential loss of his inventory due to melting became a potentially good business ideas. In 1936, Carvel opened his first store and also developed a soft serve ice cream formula and a patented low temperature ice cream machine.

Dairy Queen also claims to have invented soft serve. In 1938, J. F. McCullough and his son, Alex, developed their soft serve formula.
