An Easy Recipe

I love to make Ice Cream. All sorts and every type of method. This method makes just one serving, but it’s really great especially if you get kids involved. I have also done this at a dinner party, getting my guests all making their own serving. Very cool. (You don’t know my friends). It’s also great if you are babysitting some kids and don’t know what to do with them. They really love this.

What you need for this.

You will need about a half cup of milk. Some people use cream, that’s ok too. But this tastes just fine with milk. You can even go half and half if you want.

About a tablespoon of sugar.

Chocolate syrup or cocoa power or vanilla extract. About a 1/4 teaspoon.

Ice. Fill up your ice trays the day before, or if you forget, just nip out and buy some, it’s cheap.

You will need either rock salt or table salt for this method. Either is fine, though I think rock salt may be cheaper to use.

2 plastic bags. I quart sized and 1 gallon sized. Remember you can improvise with this. It’s just a rough guide.

Some good get on down music that you can dance to or that your kids love.

Ok You’re good to go now.

Take the sugar, flavoring that you have chosen and milk, and mix them all in a suitable bowl well. Then put them into the smallest bag. Seal up that bag well and good so that the mix will not under any circumstances escape.

Take your bigger bag, and place the ice and salt into it. It should now be about half full with ice and salt combo.

Put the small bag into the big bag. Important: Make sure the two bags are sealed really well. Use tape if you need to. The ingredients of both bags must not mix or meet.

And now the fun and magical bit. Put on that music, shake it on down, get that ice mixture moving around, shake it, massage it etc and in 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your dancing ability you will be rewarded with one serving of great ice cream. Hey presto! Enjoy.
