I could eat ice cream all day long. It’s one of my favourite treats. So many flavours to choose from – how to decide? Here’s the truth – mint chocolate chip ice cream is not my favourite flavour, not even close. I’d pick, pralines and cream, strawberry, or an orange sherbet well before I picked mint chocolate chip, but that’s not the case for one of my little girls. This is her favourite flavour.
I enjoy making ice cream but I don’t do it often and I don’t have much storage space in my kitchen so, I put the ice cream maker away and stick with store-bought. This past Spring, we did a big purge/spring cleaning and I came across our well loved but forgotten ice cream maker. I pulled it out from behind the waffle maker, espresso machine, pasta maker, you get the idea and started making homemade ice cream. Everything changed. I was reminded that there’s nothing better than this creamy, sweet, homemade treat on hot summer days and it’s been hot.
I have a lot of making up to do – starting with this tasty Spearmint and Chocolate Chip ice cream. You’ll have to hurry up and eat it, because in this heat it’s melting fast!
