      <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">When one puts ice cream into one&rsquo;s mouth it is a solid but it turns into a liquid in one&rsquo;s mouth before one swallows it. This could have ramifications on whether one says a berachah on it when it is eaten as a dessert during a meal which has begun with hamotzi. It is the general practice not to say a berachah on liquids drunk even towards the end of a meal. Therefore what is the halachah regarding ice cream eaten as a dessert? Today&rsquo;s poskim are divided on whether one says a berachah on it. [see Rav Alexander Mandlebaum, Vezos Haberachah p.74 fn.12]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span></span></p>
