Homemade Ice Cream

Ice Cream!

Miranda & Maddy 04/27/2016

While ice cream itself doesn't claim its roots in the South, it does have a cultural significance here. As everyone knows, summers south of the Mason-Dixon line are hot. People have been turning to the sweet, cold treat for years, particularly during the summer. While the process for making it might have changed, the love of it has not. It's not just a sweet treat, however. As we enter May and the june bugs start making their appearances, history brings us back to how ice cream has influenced the South itself. From the Royal Ice Cream Sit In to the more recent listeria catastrophe, ice cream appears in numerous articles and dinner conversations that have nothing to do with the flavor. Today, Maddy and I decided to serve this cold confection in one of two ways: an old-fashioned (okay, electric so maybe not) ice cream maker and ice cream in a bag! My recipe is essentially chocolate ice cream with a hint of Milky Way. Yum!
