The weather is certainly warming up and it seems like spring is certainly here, almost crossing into summer territory
Warm weather will often cause certain things to happen. The winter clothes get packed away, the garden tools come out and people start getting excited for outdoor activities in the warm weather.
Now on a warm day, nothing cools you off quite as nicely as ice cream. Something we learned at a very young age on TV and in the movies, in the summertime you hear birds, crickets and the sound of ice cream trucks, haha.
Looks like this year as the ice cream shops open up, they could be missing one of my favorites, according to this recently released flavour list for summer 2023.
Really hoping that Rum & Raisin will still be available, but we will have to wait a couple weeks to know for sure. I didn’t realize that was one of the flavours offered up by the company that makes the little tubs. Apparently that is one of almost twenty Haagen-Dazs flavours available.

Now of course you could always make homemade ice cream, then any flavour is possible.
I will say that lately I have found attempts to make homemade ice cream have failed. Could not understand why, until now. Low fat milk does not work! Also if making “Rum and Raisin,” using real rum might prevent freezing as well.
If you have substituted lower-fat milk in then, your ice cream may not freeze as quickly or at all. Decreasing the fat in your ice cream will also affect the texture. If you have added alcohol to your ice cream, that may also prevent it from freezing.
Until ice-cream season official begins, to hold you over till the warmer weather, here are a few songs to remind you of summer. Taking you back to the days of an ice cream truck rolling down the street.
