The Joy Of Ice Cream's Texture
July is National Ice Cream Month \u2014 and Sunday, July 18 is National Ice Cream Day (in the US)! Flavors range from the classics \u2014 vanilla and chocolate \u2014 to the adventurous \u2014 jalape\xf1o and cicada. But for some people, including ice cream scientist Dr. Maya Warren, flavor is only one part of the ice cream allure. So in today's episode, Emily Kwong talks with Short Wave producer Thomas Lu about some of the processes that create the texture of ice cream, and how that texture plays into our enjoyment of the tasty treat.
