Ice Cream and icy happiness

Pleasure.

Colour can be a joyful and visceral delight. It doesn’t have to be anymore complicated, than that it makes you happy. It should bring you pleasure as well as comfort and safety. This is the heart of our Ice Cream. Equal parts contentment, joy and delight.

I make ice cream for people that I love. The focused and delicate cooking of good eggs and cream. Then the stirring in of delicious bits, flavours and spices. In our house almost always a bay leaf and then whatever is growing or tucked in our spice drawer. And then time. Time for the custard to cool and infuse, time for friends. Sometimes the ice cream is presented in beautiful bowls, sometimes the metal bucket is passed around with spoons.

This week brings us perfect ice cream weather and I hope a lean into the joy of spoons clashing and icy happiness.
