"Who loves ice cream? I definitely do 🍦❤️. July is Ice Cream Month which is a good enough reason to eat them every day right? Have you ever made ice cream at home? It is really great as you can create exaclty the flavour that you want plus it is a chance to experiment. This was exaclty the case with this recipe. I had a lot of sweet potatoes at home + I was craving ice cream. And here is the result 😊 This ice cream doesn’t require ice cream machine. The flavour is so rich and texture so creamy. They are super easy to make - you basically whisk everything together and stick it in the freezer!"
