Creative Flavor Ice-Cream
Getting creative with your ice cream flavors? What a great way to hang out with the kids and stay cool. This recipe is also nutritious and teaches the kiddos healthy alternatives to sweets.
Today is the day to test your taste buds. To venture beyond the vanilla or chocolate. Some creameries across the country get quite creative. Salted butter sweet corn, jalapeno strawberry and even pork-belly pecan. I chose something creative, yet healthy. No added sugar and unhealthy fats. And to answer your question, yes, it’s delicious. The Chefs at WilcoWellness tried this recipe out with the 5-year old’s in-house, when asked if they liked it, they said no, WE LOVE IT!
