Growing up I always enjoyed spending time camping with my family — swimming, hiking, cooking over the campfire. It was always a wonderful time. Our coolers, of course, were filled to the brim with ice to keep everything cool. At the end of the trip, though, we always ended up having to dump all that ice out. Had I known you could make ice cream while camping, I would have suggested it to my parents so we could put that ice to good use (and so I could eat more ice cream)!

You don’t need electricity to make ice cream in the Play & Freeze! And your ingredients won’t take up too much room in your cooler either! I urge you campers to consider having ice cream the next time you pitch your tents and light up your campfires. You’ll love being able to have ice cream for dessert after roasting your hot dogs over the open fire. Best of all, it’s FUN! Everyone can participate in making the ice cream as it needs to be shaken for 20-40 mins.
If you’re in need of some good camping utensils, look no further than the
sporks made by Light My Fire USA. They are very sturdy and would make excellent ice cream spoons!
