It turns out that the story of soft serve ice cream has an challenging origin challenging one of the twentieth century's greatest Cold War politicians, Margaret Thatcher. In the mid-20th century, she worked on a chemical research team in Britain, uncovering a method of dramatically increasing the estimate of Air in ice cream---allowing manufacturers to use less of the actual ingredients and reducing their costs per serving significantly.

Does that mean that my lust for soft serve ice cream was hot Air? Well, maybe, but I dug further.

Significantly lower in fat article than primary hard ice cream, soft serve is produced at a warmer temperature than ice cream, resulting in a extra property that can account for its unsurpassed taste. By having a warmer temperature, the human taste buds can unquestionably detect more flavor.

As you may have guessed, the permissible aggregate of temperature and air is underlying to the taste of the accomplished product. Soft serve produced with lower amounts of air results in a icy, heavy tasting product. On the other hand, soft serve produced with higher amounts of air typically taste creamier, smoother and lighter. Ordinarily speaking, the air article should optimally be in the middle of 35 percent and 45 percent of volume. Like primary ice cream, soft serve ice cream must be freezing swiftly to avoid crystallization.

Now that I've finally unlocked the mysteries of the magic ice cream machines, I'm off to satisfy my sweet tooth. Thank you Margaret Thatcher.
