10 minutes Ice Cream

The children were alerted and excited when they saw me bringing in all the ingredients that we needed for today's activity. 

I introduced some of the ingredients before we start. The steps and procedure basically is as followed:

1) Pour in the whipping cream into the smaller container.
2) Add in the egg yolk.
3) Add in the sugar.
4) Add in a little chocolate powder

Then I close the container tight and passed it to everyone to have a good shake of it before placing it into the bigger container. Then I added in the ice cube and the salt. 2 children volunteer to provide their towel for wrapping around the container. I stabled the towel by putting a rubber band around it. 

Now, the action started. The children needed to roll the container as fast as they could across the hall. The container has some weight in it where the children find it difficult to roll. I have to give some help in this. After about 10 minutes, somehow, the ice cream mixture was still very watery. It was not set yet. Therefore, we added in some more ice cube and salt. We rolled it a little harder and faster this time. But I could see that the children were quite tired rolling it.

This time, when we checked the ice cream, it had set. The children were cheering and waited with their cups. Each got to try a little bit of it and they claimed that the ice cream tasted delicious.
