IT’S TIME FOR ICE CREAM!

I scream, you scream, we all scream ICE CREAM! As the whole country heads into summer, the timing is perfect to learn to make your own ice cream. It is super easy and the whole family can get involved. 

Try this “Amasi and Cookies Ice Cream” recipe created by Reabetjoe Mokoko, the Cooking Dietitian. She uses amasi, cream,  and condensed milk. No churning or ice cream maker required. This recipe has cookie crumbles in it, but you can replace those with fresh fruit (think berries, peaches, apples) or even caramel crumbles. 

Did you know that amasi (also called maas) is indigenous to South Africa and traditionally served with pap or drunk straight. It is very popular as an ingredient in a variety of dishes including scones, marinades, soups and now ice cream.
