| A stomach-friendly sweet treat. |
Ice cream season is in full frozen swing, with the Reading Terminal Market and Bassett's hosting the Ultimate Philadelphia Ice Cream Festival this Saturday, July 18.� From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a slew of� vendors will sample and sell their wares while festivalgoers are treated to displays of ice cream juggling, an ice cream cake creation demonstration, a root beer float drop contest and ice cream eating competition.� Sweets lovers can also search the market for inspirational ingredients to create their own ice cream flavor, for a contest that will be judged at 3 p.m.
Joining Bassett's are Miller�s Twist, The Franklin Fountain, Uncle Dave�s Ice Cream, KOV, and Bredenbeck�s Bakery and Ice Cream Parlor, as well as Gelati Di Capri.� The Kennett Square gelateria makes their frozen cream exclusively from Lancaster County goat's milk, which, due to the smaller size of the goat's milk protein molecule,� can be easier to digest than ice cream made from cow's milk.
I scooped up a pint of Gelati di Capri in Biscotti & Crema, a mild cream flavor sweetened with cane juice and agave and studded with espresso-tinged Midnight biscotti from� local bakery Gilda's Biscotti. The silky product had a less-rich texture than cow's milk gelato, but delivered plenty of cooling flavor with none of the "goatiness" that characterizes chevre and raw goat's milk.� At 120 calories per half-cup serving, the treat doesn't clash with an otherwise healthy lifestyle.
Sample and purchase Gelati di Capri at the Ice Cream Festival; pick up pints at both Philadelphia Whole Foods, Essene Market and Greensgrow Farm Market.
Ultimate Philadelphia Ice Cream Festival, Sat., July 18, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Reading Terminal Market, 12th & Arch St., 215-922-2317, readingterminalmarket.org
