In the short sleeves and sun kissed skin season my daughter is developing a strong passion for ice creams. She sees someone licking ice cream on the street – she wants one. She sees ice cream in the store – she wants one. She sees the ice cream bus in the park – she wants one.
Since I do not fancy the packaged sweets at all, I usually find ways to engage her in the preparation of home-made, healthy, deicious sweets. For example, for today’s Father’s Day, we decided that we are gonna surprise our dad at home with some irresistible homemade ice cream.
Typically for all women, it was hard to decide whether we would go for the milky ice cream or would rather do the fruity one. Hence, we ended up with both. Since “delicious” and “incredible” do not even start to explain how amaizingly tasty they are, we decided to share our improvised recipe with you guys. Do not forget to write us how you find the ice creams, shall you decide to make them at home.
