Ice cream… The very thought makes my mouth water. I love ice cream, my kids love ice cream, and I don’t know anyone who would say no to a bowl of ice cream. Make it a home-made ice-cream, and the “Yes, please” would be really loud and clear! My hubby is the driving force behind this dish, and the rest of us (kids and I) helped out by finishing off the ice-cream in record time. In fact, younger one kept asking for more “I-keem”.  You’ll be surprised by how easy it is to prepare vanilla ice cream at home.
