I heard once that the grocery stores actually sell more ice cream over the winter months than any other time of year. Crazy, right!? I like to think that the reason is due to people in the summertime being outside and getting their ice cream from ice cream shops around town or the local ice cream truck, but what I really hope is that more people are making their own ice cream at home. That just has to be the reason why sales go down in the summer right!? More people are getting creative in the kitchen and making ice cream that is healthier, not full of added sugar and doesn’t require those bulky ice cream makers. If not, then I am about to inspire you all to do just that–make healthier ice cream in your very own kitchen without the need for any crazy ice cream machines.
