We all scream for ice cream!

Whether it's in Asia, Europe, the United States or South America, it's safe to say that the frozen treat tends to be a favorite enjoyment for anyone of any age.

Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own version, according to Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of an ice cream brand and the author of two books on the subject.

Gelato, Italy

Pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy's another symbol of food. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians.

"Italians gather at gelaterias and socialize," says Britton Bauer.  "They're popular hangouts and cultural icons."

Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream, and crafted with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring — chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio  and Stracciatella  or vanilla ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.

Dondurma, Turkey

An ice cream that doesn't melt? Yes, that's exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream 1s.

"Buying dondurma is like watching a performance," says Fedorko Safer, the founder of the travel company Sea Song Tours and an Istanbul resident. "The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish garb and a sultan hat and stretch, twist and tum the ice cream until it lands into a cone. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show."

Kakigori, Japan

Pastry chefs make kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a fluffy pile. They then add syrups to the ice — usually crafted by hand with quality ingredients — in flavors such as green tea, strawberry, grape and melon.

Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl.
