We admit, hand on heart – we absolutely love churning ice cream.
Salted caramel...
Much has been written about the love for ice cream. We've toiled for ages trying to conjure up an invocation worthy of summer's best flavour, but no words ever seemed quite right. Because ice cream is simply something to be savoured and enjoyed!
And what if someone says...
Ice cream is only good for hot weather, not when it's raining!
...stracciatella...
Then you simply must lure them in, lock them in a room, head to the kitchen, and whip up such an amazing ice cream that they'll never utter such nonsense again.
No, it's not difficult. To make ice cream at home, you don't need special permits, ingredients with 'E' numbers, or even an ice cream maker. Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?
In that case, you'll be chuffed to bits to know that...

What do I need to make homemade ice cream?
...vanilla...
Ingredients. The only rule here is – the sky is the limit. If you thought the selection of flavours at ice cream parlours was overwhelming, just imagine creating dozens more in the comfort of your own kitchen!
To prepare the simplest homemade ice cream, you'll need fruit, water, and a sweetener. After mixing and freezing these ingredients, you'll get a refreshing sorbet.

Traditional, rich ice creams require additional ingredients. These most often include egg yolks, milk, and cream.
- French Ice Cream. The richest in ingredients, but also quite heavy and more complicated to prepare than other ice creams. Its base consists of egg yolks and cream. Be warned! If you're not experienced, French ice cream can turn out too greasy.
- Philadelphia Ice Cream. Made without egg yolks, this is prepared with a base of cream and milk. It's an option for those who are willing to accept a less fluffy consistency, as long as it's lighter and has fewer calories.
Ice Cream for the Discerning Palate
Masterful Serving
...strawberry...
Unless you polish off all the ice cream before your guests arrive, it's worth making an effort to serve dessert elegantly. You'll need:
- Ice cream scoops – to achieve beautiful, round scoops just like in an ice cream parlour.
- Stylish ice cream bowls. They just taste so much better then!
- Ice cream spoons, so your guests can scrape every last bit from their bowls after your delectable dessert.
FormAdore... Moulds!

Or perhaps ice cream 'To Go'? If the gathering is a bit more casual, ice cream served straight to hand will be perfect. And you can achieve this thanks to ice cream moulds.
At FA, there are tons of them! The brand Lekue in particular offers a rich selection.
Stay frosty!
