With summer fast approach and the warm days just around the corner, everyone’s attention will be turning not just to summer vacation and the fun things you get to do at the beach, by the pool, on vacation or even just at home but to finding all kinds of ways to be cool and stay coo. Of course, this means finding cool and tasty treats as well to keep you happy. Instead of waiting around for the ice cream man to come ringing his bell or spending a ton of money at the store for ice cream, you can make use of some of these fun ice cream gadgets that have come along to make your own frozen and tasty treats.
- Professional Ice Cream Maker – Ice cream makers are nothing new on the market and you can find everything from top to bottom to make hard and soft ice cream right at home, but some of the newer models take it even a step further. A professional ice cream maker eliminates a great deal of the waiting you would have to do with traditional makers that have you use a frozen sleeve to put ingredients in. The professional model has its own refrigeration unit so the whole process can be done in about 30 minutes, giving you fast and easy access to all of your favorite flavors.
- Blending Stone – All the rage today are blended ice creams where you go to an ice cream parlor, choose your ice cream and what you would like mixed into it and they blend it for you. It looks and tastes great, but at an ice cream parlor it can be quite expensive. You can do the same thing right in your own home with a blending stone. Simply freeze the stone for a few hours before you want to use it, take your favorite store-bought or homemade ice cream and whatever you want as your fixings inside and mix them all together easily right on the cold stone.
- The Ice Cream App – Of course if you want to make your own ice cream you need to have some great recipes. With the great technology available today, there are a number of free applications you can download to your smartphone or tablet to give you recipes to make your favorite flavors or try something new and unique to wow your family or friends. Just download the application you like and you can have hundreds of recipes whenever you want them, along with pictures, shopping lists and step-by-step instructions and videos for you to follow.
There are fewer things more rewarding in the hot weather than having your favorite ice cream to help take your mind off your troubles and the heat. Making use of some the great new gadgets and technology that have come along can allow you to make ice cream time even more fun for you at home as you can create your own ice cream magic when you want it.
