Summer season is nearly over, but the weather is still pretty warm and humid. What better way to beat the heat than to refresh yourself with cold creamy ice cream.
The Korean market has introduced a wide variety of these cool dairy products throughout the years. Some had been widely received while the others seemingly faded into oblivion.
Here is a list of the most popular and highly patronized Korean ice cream bars and popsicles.
1. Nougat Bar. It is a vanilla ice cream bar resembling a round nougat coated with a milk chocolate shell. It is one of the oldest Korean ice cream brands introduced in 1974.
