What can possibly be better than having your very own ice cream shop when you are a kid? That must be having your own ice cream shop with all your best friends (and mum and dad) as customers!!

Make this ice cream store for the next birthday party or surprise your kids a weekend with one amazing ice cream day. You can easily make quick solutions when creating the store. Let the kids draw their own money or ice cream tickets, blow balloons as decoration, use a small table as a store counter and buy the ice cream at your local supermarket instead of doing it yourself. Voilà! The store is open!

Vanilla & chocolate ice cream

• 2 cups of whipping cream
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 whole eggs
• 100 g of sugar

For the vanilla flavor:
• Grains from a vanilla bean

For the chocolate flavor:
• 100 g dark chocolate (roughly chopped)

  1. Mix everything (except for the chocolate for the chocolate flavored ice cream) together in a saucepan and warm it up slowly to 85 degrees. Exactly! If you do not have a meat thermometer, take it as soon as it is clear creamy and the first boiling bubbles start to appear. If it boils, it is destroyed. 
  2. Pour the cream into a bowl and let the cream cool. 
  3. (Only for the chocolate flavor) Add the roughly chopped chocolate. 
  4. Pour the cream into an ice cream maker to freeze the ice in.
  5. Scrape off the ice into a container that can go into the freezer.
