Make Your Own Ice Cream

Ice creams are a great way to keep us cool during hot seasons. They are also very pricey sometimes. Have you ever thought of making your own ice cream without having ti buy an ice cream maker?

Ice cream or ice-cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavourings and colorings are used in addition to (or in replacement of) the natural ingredients. This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.

There’s a simple yet delightful recipe from Mother Nature Network which is actually from Divine Chocolate Newsletter.

ngredients
