The next time you’re camping at a provincial park or anywhere else you have access to ice, try this fun activity with a confectionary payoff.  It takes a little time, but it is time well spent when you and your friends or family can enjoy self-made ice cream!

Made of durable, yet lightweight polycarbonate, and looking much like a round, blue soccer ball, The Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker is the first and only ice cream maker in which fun is the main ingredient. And you can make ice cream just about anywhere, since with Play & Freeze you don’t need electricity. What you do need, however, are a few friends or family members, the right ingredients, a little playful energy plus a cup of imagination.

Here’s the scoop –

Gather the children and other family members together and get ready to have a ball!
Remove the lid from the ice end of the ball and fill the Play & Freeze with as much ice as possible. Then add 8 tablespoons of rock salt and close the lid securely. Mix up the ice cream ingredients into a container, remove the lid from the ice cream end, pour in your mix and replace the cylinder lid. Simply hand the Play & Freeze to someone in the group and tell them to shake it and then pass it or roll it to one another for approximately 15 – 20 minutes (the ice cream mixture should also be stirred after 10 minutes to ensure even consistency). While shakin’, rattlin’ and rollin’, kids and adults can sing songs, tell jokes or play imaginative games until the ice cream is ready for serving.

The Play & Freeze makes about a pint of delicious soft-serve ice cream. The consistency of the ice cream will vary depending on the ice, your mix, the outside temperature and the shaking frequency. Make vanilla ice cream and other flavors from the recipes included with the Play & Freeze or have fun experimenting. Add chocolate chips, strawberries or sprinkles. The possibilities are endless!

The Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker is available at many outdoor retail stores. For additional information visit www.icecreamrevolution.com
