We are making Ice-cream!

In sync with English Unit 4: Making Ice-cream, the boys and I experimented with making this delicious treat ourselves, manually. Yes, no machines involved.

One Big Ziplog bag

One small Ziplog bag

Whipping cream

Sugar

Hershey's cocoa powder

M&Ms (optional)

Marshmallow (optional)

Ice cubes (not in picture)

Salt

All the boys had a chance to shake the mixture in the ice-filled bag. After 10 minutes of shaking......

This is the 'victim' after 10 minutes of not-too-vigorous shaking. The boys were careful not to break the bag hence they did not shake as vigorously as they could have. The result was a mixture somewhere in between a milk shake and a real ice-cream. We could have used crushed ice instead of ice cubes to make sure the coldness is even. In addition, we could haven shaken the bag for a longer time such that it can freeze into a harder texture.

Dig in!
