Ice cream is the best! Indulge yourself in smooth vanilla or chunky chocolate chip. Not only is ice cream delicious, but it's also full of carbohydrates, which are used to power yourself.If you think ice cream has too much fat or sugar content, you can buy low-fat and low-sugar ice cream. Or you can create homemade ice cream! Just in a small resealable plastic bag, combine half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Push out excess air and seal. Into a large resealable plastic bag, combine ice and salt. Place the small bag inside the bigger bag and shake vigorously for 7 to 10 minutes, until the ice cream has hardened.Then you're ready to eat it! Sprinkle some rainbow sprinkles or any toppings of your choice. Voila! Homemade ice cream with less fat, no artificial sweeteners, and less sugar. What a win-win treat for any occasion!
Some sources say the history of ice cream begins in Persia in 550 BC. A Roman cookbook dating back to the 1st century includes recipes for sweet desserts that are sprinkled with snow, and there are Persian records from the 2nd century for sweetened drinks chilled with ice.
