Ice Cream Top 10

VANILLA ICE CREAM - STILL THE MOST POPULAR?
Vanilla ice cream has traditionally been the most popular ice cream in the world - but is it still today? Based on visitors to ice-cream-recipes.com, the answer is YES. With 3 times as many page views as any other ice cream recipe, my vanilla ice cream has been the most popular recipe downloaded during the last 12 months.

After vanilla comes chocolate, then strawberry ice cream followed by banana, choc chip, coffee, mint choc chip, butter pecan, coconut and green tea.

If you like vanilla ice cream, you might be interested to learn more about vanilla itself. For example, what's the connection between vanilla ice cream and orchids? Where is vanilla grown? Who consumes most vanilla in the world? For answers to these questions please visit my vanilla page.

At #2 in the top 10 was chocolate ice cream. This is an ice cream that I never tire of making as there are so many different kinds of recipe to try. As with vanilla, I have dedicated a special section to chocolate in its own right, so if you are interested in the history of chocolate, key chocolate facts or even its scientific and health properties I hope you'll enjoy reading it.

Ice Cream Cone

PAULA - THE ICE CREAM POLAR BEAR

This is Paula, the Polar Bear who loves ice cream cones! She was knitted for me by a dear cousin of mine, Iris. Knowing of my passion for ice cream, she made this for me as a surprise and I was thrilled. Apparently, the knitting pattern she used was very old which in itself reflects how much the ice cream cone has always been a part of our lives. Of all the teddy bears in our house, this one is certainly unique and I just had to give Paula her own place here in ice-cream-recipes.com.

This site is not just about making ice cream, but all things ice cream. So I have written a special page all about the ICE CREAM CONE. Read more about the ice cream cone, its origins and popularity.

Ice Cream Sundaes

Part of the fun of homemade ice cream, in my view at least, is to come up with your own ideas for ice cream sundaes. There's so much variation possible!

An ice cream sundae can be simple such as a vanilla ice cream sundae - follow the link and you'll see what I made using vanilla ice cream, a touch of chocolate sauce, cream and wafer curls.

There again, a sundae can be much more elaborate - like the chocolate banana sundae in this photograph. I made this with 3 scoops chocolate ice cream, fresh banana slices, chocolate sauce, a chocolate flake, squirter cream, a chocolate wafer curl and a glacé cherry to top it off. Almost a meal in itself!

Looking for ice cream sundae ideas? Visit my gallery of ice cream pictures. All the sundaes you see there were made by me at home and each one has a description of what I used. Going a step further you can even create a wonderful Knickerbocker Glory - a truly serious ice cream sundae!
