Electric Ice Cream Makers 8 Simple Reasons We Should All Be Making Our Own Ice Cream
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. As a family, we eat ice cream regularly. Not just in the warm summer months, but throughout the year. It's not cheap to buy, as you will know. But when you add it up over a month or a year, well I was surprised at how much I was paying out, too much. When I make my own, I keep cost in mind, I can make it cheaper, with no loss of quality or taste.
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. By making my own, I get to know and decide what goes into it. No preservatives or additives. The kids get less high and I'm not worried that I am filling them up on crap.
4. These days I seem to know a few people with allergies etc, I can easily make ice cream to accommodate them, I just leave out what they are allergic to.
5. I'm never stuck for something to bring to a friends for dinner. I usually make up a batch specially to bring along for dessert.
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 try most of the time to make it lower fat than you buy. I use half and half or light cream instead. Great for the kids, but helps me and my diet out too.
There it is. My ice cream tastes great. Looks wonderful and costs less. I hope you start making yours too. It really is so much more rewarding than buying it. - 17268
