Summer is coming, we finally got the chance to do the theme of ice cream, which had been requested by our children since the Christmas. I promised our children I'd buy a ice cream maker and produce our own ice cream at our daycare.
make real (very real) ice cream
Our ice cream recipe was super simple, only 6 ingredients (egg yolks, heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla extract). When I read the nutrition fact labeled on the store-bought ice creams I was surprised how many ingredients in there and at least the half of the ingredients I even could not pronounce.

It was too soft to serve once the ice cream was churned in the ice cream maker, I did not know about this. Our children were a little disappointed for they could not have their ice cream on the same day after putting so much work into it.

Each child had a ice cream like this on the next day before they went home with parents. What a moment to see those happy little faces glowing with excitement and satisfaction !!
I had one myself, it was heavenly.... so creamy and so real......I probably will not buy any more ice cream this Summer.

making a pom pom ice cream
We made pom ice cream together on Friday. We had our children use the alphabet sticker to spell out their first name on the "cone".
