Ella:  So, I was trying to make some ice cream the other night, but it just ended up tasting too salty. With the amount of ice cream I eat, I should learn how to make it. I just love it.

Marni:  Wow, I didn’t even think about making it. I mean, there’s so many delicious flavors out there, and so many delicious options that, I don’t know, making it just seems too difficult.

Ella:  Yeah, it’s not one of those things that the reward is really awesome, ‘cause you just get tired afterwards and you don’t really want to eat it. So I think I’m just gonna stick to the store.

Marni:  Yeah, it seems so messy to make it. But there’s so many amazing flavors out there that are so refreshing, like mint ice cream or even like a gelato or sorbet that’s really fruity in the middle of summer when it’s so hot out. Love it.

Ella:  I love coffee ice cream.

Marni:  Oh yeah.

Ella:  Those are my favorites.

Marni:  I know. Who doesn’t like ice cream. But can you eat ice cream when it’s cold out?

Ella:  Oh yeah, I don’t care. I’ll get a milkshake if it’s below zero.

Ella tried to make ice cream, but it ended up being too salty. She says she’ll stick to the ice cream you can buy in the store from now on.

But Ella really loves ice cream. Marni agrees that it is a great dessert. She likes gelato and sorbet as well. Mint is one of Marni’s favorite flavors of ice cream. Ella prefers coffee.

One thing Marni doesn’t like is eating ice cream on a cold day. Only Ella loves ice cream enough to do that!

Do you like ice cream? What are your favorite flavors?

ice cream is a treat to eat and i just love it. its not only refreshing in hot sunny days, its a feast for taste buds in winters too while wearing cozy sweaters and muflers. i like ice cream with hard crunchy choclate and fresh strawberry chunks as the toping. i like some fruity sorbets too. we can have ice cream with cold coffees, with fruit coaktails, with some fizzy drinks and its a best date at some cool and romantic place.
