How Dirty Ice Cream is Made (Filipino Sorbetes)

There is nothing better than homemade street ice cream in the Philippines. “Dirty ice cream” or “sorbetes” is a colloquial term for streetside ice cream that is served in push carts around the metro. Marlon Canaway started as an ice cream vendor and is now a proud small business owner that employs over 50 ice cream vendors. This is the tale of a Filipino childhood snack that’s beloved by everyone, regardless of social class, and Marlon’s inspiring story of hard work and dedication.

[@bayekofsiwa5847]

@@den-ver7333 It really depends on the dirty ice cream maker. There are some dirty ice cream that genuinely tastes better than Selecta, Nestle, or Aice. Personally, there's a dirty ice cream vendor near the area where I live which I prefer more than commercial ice cream although they're kind of a rarity. Most dirty ice cream sadly lacks the creaminess of the commercial ones, making them seem like regular ice candy rather than ice cream lol.

When my daughter had her 7th birthday i rented a sorbetes cart. It was a hit with the kids. It was gone within 2hrs. That's how good it is. Mamang sorbetero was happy, he got to go home early. Gave him a bonus for making his sorbetes extra special that day. Try sorbetes, if you want a unique party treat 😁

It is and will always be a hit for parties! Even the elderlies falls in line just to get a Sorbetes from mamang sorbetero hahaha.

Most common flavours I see today are mango, cheese and avocado. Ocassionally I see ube and strawberry. But when I was a kid I remember seeing melon and langka. I lament these are no longer made by sorbeteros. Back in the days of our parents and grandparents, the common flavor was mantecado which is vanilla with butter or lard. Selecta offered this flavor back in 2013 and it was delicious. Too bad only Arce Dairy makes it today.

[@moondustgirl2132]

Melon flavor is still sold by the Sorbetero here in our street. The other flavors he sells are Ube, Cheese and Chocolate (which I think is actually Chocnut.) Sometimes he has Cookies and Cream also. 🍦😋

Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊😊

[@nickpantalones4606]

@@eduardochavacano Surely you jest. "It is one thing that can be called cultural in the street food scene." That's both inaccurate and misleading. The Filipino street food scene is filled with a myriad of culinary delights, all of them unique Philippine cultural icons. And the variety keeps evolving that it's almost impossible to catalogue them here. "Dirty Ice Cream sounds cool". It doesn't. It sounds dirty, and not in a good way. I have been to many Filipino-hosted social functions here in the US where they feature a Mamang Sorbetero (complete with an authentic-looking sorbetes cart) serving "dirty ice cream". The concerned question that non-Filipino guests ask is, "IS IT DIRTY?" After offering the self- deprecating explanation (which screams, 'my country was once a colony of a superpower'), the oft-repeated response is, "that's just poor branding." And I tell my kids never to call it "dirty ice cream" whenever we're there on vacation. The term may sound cute coming from us locals, but it comes across as condescending when spoken by non-Pinoys. "Pinoy Sorbetes is just Trying Too Hard. No outside Central Luzon would call that Pinoy Sorbetes". Last time I checked, Filipinos outside Central Luzon are Pinoy, so why the specific geographic demarcation? Also, "but you may used [sic] that term in a thesis literature"?? Are you implying that is about academic pedantry? It is not. To quote the original post that started this discussion, this is another negative reinforcement in our culture (that we need) to correct. Along with the notion that off-brand cottage industry kakanins are inferior to store-bought confections. I've sampled gelatos from street vendors in Italy, and had raspados from paleteros here in So Cal. Neither of those local merchants attach the word "dirty" to their ice cream concoctions.

We had a neighbour back in our previous barangay in Iloilo City who was operating a Sorbetes factory. So I saw how the whole sorbetes making process was done.

isa ang sorbetes sa heritage ng ph ❤ if i remember it clearly, may year na halos wala ang nagbebenta. Tapos mas gusto namin yng tinutulak kesa naka bicycle kase mas masarap talaga hehehe, its good to know na nakikilala na sila ulit. hanggang ngayon, kapag dumadaan sa harp ng bahay namin talagang tinatwag na min ng asawa ko. part na sya ng buhay namin sa probinsya ❤

Everytime we came home for vacation and sorbetero pass by the house, I usually stop and get some. If there kids around the neighborhood that are playing around they get one too or two or three.

Wow! This is such a pleasure to the eyes watching this, very sharp video and excellent sounds as well. (FEATR always have beautiful clear videos and very interesting topics ). Its good to know the life and struggles of these delightful folks. Very emotional and sweet ... JP , New York.

Around San Roque and San Antonio, Cavite City si Mang Santos naman ang hero ng sorbetes namin 😊 Nakakautang pa ko sa kanya noon 😊 He was always put together and daper in his long sleeves and trouser with a brimmed hat. Rest in peace, Mang Santos!💜

iba din kase ang dirty ice cream, mura, masarap, tyaka may nostalgia factor na sya .. dati halos andaming nagbebenta ng ganyan, ngayon, kakaunti na lang

Very inspiring story. I was moved to tears. Wish I could eat sorbetes one day.

During my childhood, we had this one exclusive sorbetero in school, Mang Ramon. I remember depleting my whole daily allowance just buying ice cream from him every recess, and even invited him at one point to serve ice cream during my 7th birthday party. I dont see these sorbeteros anymore in my area though. But can confirm that the ice cream you can buy from them is definitely 10/10, specially mango flavor uwu.

This brings my childhood memory. I hope they don't disappear.

Dasal at pagsisikap, tama po kuya Marlon. Tatak pinoy talaga yung dyip at yung sorbetes❤.

[@checkma8s]

I like this kind of icecream more than those sold commercially kasi hindi masyado matamis kahit ilang ulit papakin

Para akong nanonood ng GMA Public Affairs documentary. Reminds me of Frontrow/Reel Time documentaries.
