Homemade ice cream
Description
I would divide homemade ice cream preparation into two stages: making the base and preparing the so-called add-ins. For regular ice cream, the base alone is quite sufficient. However, if you want to make something special, you'll need to spend a bit more time preparing various add-ins. In this recipe, they are strawberries, cookies, and chocolate. You'll lick your fingers!
