Experience Nostalgic Ice Cream Flavors
Every once in a while, stop and enjoy an ice cream cone! —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
You'll enjoy the nostalgic taste of these traditional frozen desserts. I recall Mom telling me of the fun times in her family when they made homemade strawberry ice cream using fresh-picked berries from their ample garden.
Grandma had an old White Mountain churn with a hand crank, and Mom with her siblings would take turns cranking for what seemed like hours to impatient youngsters, but it was really only minutes.
Once the mixture was frozen, the kids would all draw straws to see who got to lick the dasher. Nothing store-bought could ever beat the taste of the fresh strawberries in Grandma's frozen custards.
After hearing those old stories, I wondered what that old fashioned ice cream would have tasted like. Thanks to these old fashioned ice cream recipes, I can now enjoy them, and you can too. You'll have loads of fun tasting all these delicious flavors.
