In recent years it has become very popular to make homemade ice cream, which is cheaper and healthier for children. By making the ice cream by hand we will have control over the ingredients that are used, making sure they are natural and that no artificial aromas or preservatives are used, which are harmful to their diet. In addition, we can take advantage to make the flavors that our children like the most, look for new ideas and combine flavors.
To make these children’s ice cream recipes, you do not need to have a refrigerator. These devices facilitate the cooling and mixing of the dough, but we can remove it by hand and obtain a very creamy ice cream. The main thing is to use ingredients such as cream, eggs or acid fruits, which prevent the crystallization of the base cream and make it much richer.
Yogurt ice cream has become popular in recent years, as it is one of the easiest ice cream recipes for children. Here we propose a very simple and quick version for any occasion.

• 250 ml. of cream to assemble

Tips: This ice cream is ideal to accompany it with some fresh fruits and give it to the children in the snack or in the dessert. You can also accompany it with a splash of chocolate or caramel.
Preparation
1. Lightly beat the cream (it must be very cold) with the rods until it is semi-matt.
2. Beat the yoghurts with the sugar. Add it to the previous mixture and beat until it forms a creamy dough.
3. To make the ice cream with ice cream, take the mixture to the refrigerator for a few hours so that the mixture cools. Then, pour it into the glass of the refrigerator following the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. To do it without a refrigerator, pour the mixture into a metal mold and as flat as possible (so that it cools more quickly). Cover with clear plastic film and take to the freezer. Remove the mixture every half hour for the first three hours, to break the ice crystals.
