Homemade Ice Cream…!! Sounds super…!!
Homemade tricolor ice cream (with yogurt, for a little leaner choice)…✨
A bit of my childhood memory: When I spent my childhood years in the US, I often heard this song from the ice cream trucks. I think my hearing ability has been enhanced with this melody. When I heard the trucks playing “the entertainer”, even few blocks away- I would take my younger brother, and plead my mother to take her purse out with her.My favorite was the colorful rainbow snow cones..!! And besides this fun, we always pleasured Häagen-Dazs…
In Singapore, we don’t have ice cream trucks, and I need to be careful not to purchase ice creams as my freezer is usually so packed with frozen meat / seafood / 5-10kg ice cubes.
So. As I cleared some bigger items away, challenging homemade ice creams.
Pistachio, Fig, and sweet vinegar Apples, each small batches.
First time to try- when I saw the authentic recipes, I was a bit scared of the creme & sugar in the recipe… so trying to be a bit lean with lesser sugar & addition of yogurt.
The result… Wow! We loved!!! Enjoyed pistachio the best, but each was delicious!! I think as I lessened the creme & sugar, it was a bit of an exercise to mix them… break even calories I guess!

Japanese: 自家製アイスを作ってみました！
自家製アイスクリーム。日本にいたら、普通に近所のコンビニアイスで十分満足だったのですが。
今、シンガポールの冷蔵庫は小さめ、冷凍庫はお肉や常用の氷（5kg~10kg)でパンパン、近くのお店からはデロデロに溶けちゃう。
他に収容するスペースなく、これまでアイスクリームを買ったことはなく、ちょっと飢えていました。
大きなアイテムが動いたこともあり、自家製アイスにトライ、お味はピスタチオ、リンゴ（砂糖＆お酢）＆イチジク。
実際色々レシピを調べていくと恐ろしくなってしまい、ヨーグルトでカロリーダウン。
生クリームを減らしすぎてしまったので、硬め＆混ぜて滑らかにするのが大変でしたが…とってもおいしかったです！
とりわけ、ピスタチオが好みで、次回はもう少しリッチなご褒美アイスを作ってみたいと思いました。
