My point here is that if you went to get ice-cream and they told you it would be 4 hours till you could have it, I don’t think anyone would eat it! When I read the recipe for making ice-cream and saw it had a 4 hour refrigeration step I had to take a second look…seriously!! The instant gratification that I usually associated with ice-cream would have to wait. Sometimes you see a little Gelati shop as you walk along the street and as you pass, you are drawn inside to contemplate all the flavours that compete for your attention, other times you find yourself wandering to the freezer after dinner for a sweet treat.

As you get older it means different things like dinner parties or snuggling up on the couch Brigit Jones style in your PJ’s, with a chick flick, a box of tissues, a tub of ice-cream and a spoon. Growing up in a town with no McDonald’s, I remember running barefoot down the road clutching my pocket money and hoping to get some meltingly delicious soft serve. For some it evokes childhood memories of ice-cream vans driving through the streets on hot summer afternoons, music playing through a single megaphone speaker on the roof.
