About Ice Cream
Ice cream depends on tiny things: air whipped into the mix, fat from cream, and ice crystals kept small by constant churning. Stop stirring and you get a hard, grainy block instead of something you can scoop. The clues here cover the machinery and the menu, from the freezer and the churn to gelato, which is served warmer and with less air than American-style ice cream, and sorbet, which contains no dairy at all. Neapolitan stacks three flavors in one brick.
Reach for this sheet during a summer classroom session or a rainy afternoon when a snack-themed puzzle suits the mood.
