I have spent many years making my own ice cream. For my friends when I was at college, and now for my friends, family and kids. I am always asked why? and lots of other questions about making ice cream at home. So now I have put all my reasons together. This is why I make my own ice cream and why I tell everyone that they should also.
1. Ok I love ice cream and so do my children. As a family we eat a lot of it even in winter. It's costly to buy regularly. It all adds up. When I make it, I make it cheaper, so it saves on the food bill.
2. It was when I had my family that I first started to think about the planet and being green, for them and their kids. So whilst I am no paragon of virtue on that front, I try little things. With my home made ice cream, I am not paying for ice cream to have needlessly travelled around the country to my table, and I am not paying for those fancy useless packaging tubs and cartons. So I guess it does help me feel a little better.
3. I get total control over what goes in. So I don't have to spend time reading the very small print on the back of the carton, to see what they have managed to sneak in there. Only good wholesome naturalness goes into mine.
4. I know so many people, my kids friends especially with allergies of all sorts. I can leave them out of the ice cream, so everyone get to enjoy it.
5. It comes in really handy when invited out to dinner or to a barbecue, instead of wasting money on flowers etc, I bring along the dessert, yes my home made ice cream.
6. I get the kids involved too. They love it and sometimes bring their friends over especially to make ice cream. It's great on a rainy day when they are hanging around the house looking for trouble.
7. For me it can be a great way of getting in some sneaky nutrients into their diet. They love fruit on their ice cream in funny shapes, I sprinkle nuts over it, and I even sprinkle oats on it sometimes.
8. I never make full fat anymore. I started gradually using lower fat produce and no-one even noticed the difference. So I have no worries about the kids getting chubby.
So there you have it. The many reasons I make my own ice cream. I hope I have been able to convince you to have a go.
