The Homemade Ice Cream Adventure

The one food that screams summer is ice cream! One summer when I was staying in the Bend, my grandma and I decided to try and make our own homemade ice cream. My grandma pulled out her ice cream maker, and we got to work in the kitchen. We figured, how hard could it be? Well our first attempt was a failure to say the least. We followed a recipe for vanilla ice cream, but to make it a little extra special, we decided to add some peanut butter to the mix. We tried our first creation, and it was not at all what we had expected. My grandma and I both turned up our faces in disappointment. Our next attempt, a couple days later, we decided to take a different approach. My grandma bought a strawberry and chocolate ice cream mix at the store to help us along with this attempt. After making both batches, the strawberry and chocolate ice cream came out perfectly! It was delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day! Making homemade ice cream is very rewarding and the perfect summer activity.
