Answer 1

In Pakistan they have pistachio ice cream, mango ice cream, green cardamom ice cream, etc. They also have a thing called falooda (pakistani ice cream sunday float) which incorporates basil seeds - it's real good and makes for a real good desert!

In India I had this ice cream (can't recall the name) and it contained bhang (similar forms to marijuana) and it is legal out there. But it was a very unique experience and the ice cream tasted good! lol!!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Ais kacang: a dessert in Malaysia and Singapore made from shaved ice, syrup, boiled red bean and topped with chocolate sauce and evaporated milk.

Pagoto Kaimaki, (Greek), made from mastic-resin which gives it an almost chewy texture, and salepi, used as a thickening agent to increase resistance to melting; both give the ice cream a unique taste.

Gelato (Italy) is made from whole milk, eggs, sugar, and natural flavorings. Gelato typically contains 7-8% fat, less than ice cream's minimum of 10%.

Answer 6

In India we have KULFI:  it's frozen milk basically.

Kulfi is a popular South Asian dessert made with boiled milk. It comes in many flavours, including pistachio, malai, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar), the more traditional flavors, as well as newer variations like apple, orange, peanut, and avocado. Where western ice creams are whipped with air or overrun, kulfi contains no air; it is solid dense frozen milk. Therefore kulfi is not ice cream. It is a related, but distinct, category of frozen dairy based dessert.

Kulfi traditionally is an all natural dessert made with pure milk and contains no eggs. Kulfi is prepared by boiling milk until it is reduced to half. Then sugar is added and the mixture is boiled for another ten minutes and a teaspoon of cornflour is added to it after making it into a paste using water. On adding the paste the mixture thickens and is boiled for some more time. Then flavourings, dried fruits, cardamom, etc. are added. The mixture is then cooled, put in moulds and frozen. One can eat kulfi plain as is or it can be garnished with ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachio nuts. Kulfi is also served with faloodeh (vermicelli noodles).

Traditionally in India and throughout the Indian Subcontinent kulfi is sold by street vendors. These vendors or "kulfiwallay" keep the kulfi frozen by placing the molds inside a large earthen pot or "matka" filled with ice and salt. When the last kulfi is sold they return home to prepare the next day's batch. When one orders a kulfi, the kulfiwalla removes a mold from the matka, takes the kulfi out of the mold, serves the kulfi onto a plate and garnishes it with some pistachios, cardamom or rice noodles. The dessert is suitable for vegetarians.

Answer 7

Mexico I belive has Creme Dulce (sort of like caramel).

I believe in Southeast Asia they have Durian ice cream.  Durian is the stinky fruit that taste like rotten onions (to me).

Yes, Japan has Mochi ice cream.

Also, in tropical areas, coconut, pineapple, mango... etc.

I went to an Indian buffet where the ice cream machine had mango ice cream.

Answer 8

In Singapore & Malaysia, they have traditional potong icecream, which are small rectangular blocks of icecream with a bamboo skewer inserted to enable holding the icecream. Flavors are durian, red bean, sweetcorn, yam, chendol etc. They also eat small blocks of regular icecream sandwiched between bread or wafer biscuits, available from mobile icecream carts.

As for icecream alternatives, frozen yogurt and fruit sorbets come to mind. There's also icecream cakes and mooncakes. Someone mentioned ais(ice) kachang; in the old days there was also ice balls (grated ice shaped into balls & flavored with different colors of sweet syrup). Another favourite in the past was ice pops made at home, you simply poured any beverage you like into specially shaped tupperware pop-makers and freeze them, you could invent your own unique flavors; I believe Western countries should be familiar with this too. A cheaper alternative was using long thin tubes of the same material for plastic bags, filled with diluted cordial drink.

Answer 9

How come no one mentioned PORK ice cream? It is eaten in Mexico. I kid you not!

Answer 10

Hawaii has pineapple ice cream and Japan has green tea ice cream.

You can get those ice creams in (for example) California, but it won't taste the same because they use real, fresh ingredients.

Answer 11

In Italy they have gelato.  Which is sooo yummy!!
