I Scream, You Scream Because the Ice Cream Didn't Work!

To celebrate the completion of a total of 7 exams between the two of us this week, Alex and I had a little ice cream making party! We planned to make four different kinds of ice cream in our new ice cream maker from Ellen and Justin. We picked coffee, strawberry, salted caramel, and pumpkin flavors. After all of the ice cream preparing, the maker wouldn't turn the mixture into ice cream!! We tried two different kinds and neither of them would go any farther than cold mush. We tried putting the mixtures into the freezer for later use as slushies, but the mixtures wouldn't freeze!! Finally, we realized that the freezer was not cold enough to freeze the gel in the ice cream maker bucket. We turned down the temperature and let the bucket freeze over night. This morning, we put in our pumpkin mixture and sure enough, it worked!! We are very happy that we figured out our ice cream making glitch and can't wait to make that salted caramel ice cream some time soon!
