I scream for Ice Cream – Chocolate Bits
This year Bella turned 10 and she initially wanted me to make an ice cream cake. I set out on a path of finding ice cream recipes that did not require an ice cream maker. I don’t have one, and didn’t fancy going out to buy one.
I came across the 3 ingredient recipes, which I thought were amazing, and came up with my own slightly edited version.
I was slightly disappointed when the week before Bella’s birthday she said she changed her mind and wanted just a chocolate gluten free cake with pink icing. Sad face, I had researched, planned, drew cake designs and was super excited to make an ice cream cake. Nevertheless, I decided to just make ice cream to serve with her birthday cake.

Notes
I played around with different flavour combinations as well, but they will be shared on the blog all in good time. If you just want vanilla then just include the first 3 ingredients in the above recipe. Some of our other flavours include chocolate/peppermint, raspberry, strawberry, honeycomb, rocky road, and gems with shop brought organic/gluten free chocolate syrup.
