“Remember ice cream is good for the soul.” – Sarah Ban Breathnach
In Sarah’s best-selling book “Simple Abundance”, she recommends freezing a homemade batch of ice cream in June. So that is exactly what we are doing today. In fact, we are celebrating National Chocolate Ice Cream Day with a batch of homemade ice cream.
This chocolate ice cream is so delicious. We are planning more homemade batches of ice cream. After all, ice cream is good for the soul!
