Celebrate National Ice Cream Month!
I scream, you scream, we all scream
for ice cream!!!
What a great way to celebrate summer –
ice cream sundaes, ice cream cones, milk shakes, and especially homemade ice
cream! We do our fair share of consuming ice cream ALL year round but July is
actually National Ice Cream Month! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan made this
designation because he loved ice cream so much. In fact, the third Sunday of
the month is even National Ice Cream Day – which happens to be on Sunday, July
17th this year.
If you’ve ever wanted to make homemade
ice cream but don’t have an ice cream maker, you are in luck! Here is a simple,
easy, and super tasty treat that you can make with ingredients that you
probably already have at home. This one is always a winner with kids too
because they can get involved and make their own!
Being a dairy farm family, we love to
find ways to enjoy our dairy products and this one was a huge hit with a group
of kids at our farm during a summer cow camp! We hope you enjoy!
