Milo Ice Cream Recipe
Here’s a Milo ice cream recipe you should try – especially if you like to drink Milo!
Just What is Milo?
Now some of you might be saying – what is Milo? That is what I wondered the first time I heard about this ice cream flavor.
Milo is actually a drink that was developed by Nestle in Australia – but now you can find it all over the world.
It is a chocolate and malt powder that you can mix into water or milk and enjoy as a drink.
It’s a spin off of the traditional hot chocolate.
The love for Milo has grown so much, that in some places you can actually find Milo as a premixed drink, breakfast cereal and snack bar.
So for all you malt lovers – you would love this drink and this ice cream!
Serving Tip
Serve this ice cream topped with chocolate sauce and malt balls.

Milo Ice Cream
Philadelphia StyleMilo ice cream is the perfect treat for Milo lovers during the warm summer months.Makes 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream

- Pour this thick mixture into a large resealable bag.
- Place the bag in the freezer for an hour or two. (My freezer was full so I took my bag and dipped it in a bowl of ice and then I just left the bag in there. This method will take longer for you to get ice cream.)

Maui Wowi Franchise
Does a Maui Wowi franchise sound like good business venture? Read on to find out!
In 1983, Jeff Summerhays had grown tired of seeing nothing but unhealthy foods. He wanted to create a healthy alternative and with the help of his wife Jill, they developed healthy smoothies that are fat free, contain no sugar, and are tasty.
Today, Maui Wowi has grown into a nationwide franchise. They have 400 stores currently operating with another 800 in the process of opening.
Maui Wowi Franchise Information
Even though Maui Wowi has become a national institution, they still try to foster the Hawaiian traditions from whence they came. They use Hawaiian names such as Ohana and Kahuna instead of Family and CEO, attempting to promote not only a business but also a culture.
In addition to developing a national presence in the United States, Maui Wowi has franchises in Mexico, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. These franchises are a little unique compared to American stores, but they offer the same products that have made Maui Wowi famous.
Support and Training
Maui Wowi was awarded in 2007 for having the best Franchisee Satisfaction and the materials they offer to their partners is in-depth and exhaustive. From marketing materials to a help desk that answers your questions seven days a week, Maui Wowi is there for all of its partners.

Marble Slab Franchise
A Marble Slab franchise is quite possibly the tastiest franchise on earth.
When the first Marble Slab Creamery opened its doors in 1983, it operated on the same basic business model that every Marble Slab franchise operates on today: give customers the freshest ice cream on earth.
Today, Marble Slab has extended its message of superior ice cream with fresh ingredients, placing franchises in 35 states and four countries.
Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Information
Each Marble Slab Creamery franchise offers variety, quality, and freshness. Marble Slab offers so much variety, in fact, that you could easily enjoy several wonderful desserts without ever once dipping into their world-class ice cream. The menu includes brownies made from scratch, homemade waffle cones, malts, shakes, sundaes, smoothies, frozen yogurt, and banana splits.
Even more amazing than Marble Slab’s quantity of options is their quality of ingredients. Marble Slab Creamery research and development scours the world in search of the best ingredients and puts them into your ice cream, like vanilla beans from Madagascar, cocoa from the Netherlands, and dipping chocolate from Sweden.
The third great hallmark of each Marble Slab Creamery franchise is freshness. Even the store design screams freshness with its jars of cookies and candies gracing counter tops and shelves. Less visible but even more significant is the ice cream mix. Marble Slab’s ice cream is not made in a giant factory thousands of miles from your bowl, but rather, the finest local dairies deliver Marble Slab’s proprietary ice cream mix to each store where every batch of premium ice cream is made daily.
Support and Training
Located in Norcross, Georgia, at the global headquarters for NexCen, Marble Slab’s parent company, is NexCen University, the ultramodern training facility for all NexCen brands. “NexCen U” is required of all Marble Slab franchisees, and offers courses, workshops and seminars covering a wide range of relevant topics delivered by experts in each field.
Distance learning options are also available in some situations. NexCen continues its support of Marble Slab franchise owners by providing experts to help with nearly all areas of running a Marble Slab Creamery franchise: marketing and public relations, design and construction, real estate, operations, crew training, and networking.
What They’re Looking For
While Marble Slab Creamery is not stingy with selling franchises, it does have certain qualifications that must be met. For instance, applicants must pass a personal background as well as credit check. Also, each applicant must have a certain specific financial status with a certain level of liquid funds and net worth.
International investors are welcome, as are U.S. military veterans, who receive a 15% discount.

Maple Walnut
Ice Cream Recipe
Maple walnut ice cream combines the the rich flavor of maple syrup with the crunchy texture of walnuts to create an addicting ice cream.
Walnuts
Of course, if you’re going to make maple walnut ice cream – I’ll assume you like walnuts!
But if you’re not a walnut lover, just leave out the walnuts and you’ll have made a delicious maple ice cream – sometimes called maple syrup ice cream! That is equally delightful!
For this recipe, you’re going to need chopped walnuts.
Naturally, the easiest way to add them is to buy pre-chopped walnuts.
If you find yourself with whole walnuts or a bag of walnut halves, no problem.
You won’t want to use large walnut halves in your ice cream. It would be much to big a chunk to come across in your ice cream and the large chunks could damage some ice cream makers.
You’ll want to chop them.
Chopping Walnuts
Simply place your walnut pieces in a food processor and pulse until the walnuts are chopped to the desired size.
If you don’t have a food processor, here’s another easy way to chop walnut pieces.
Place the walnut pieces in a ziploc bag, push the air out, and seal. Then, place this bag on a cutting board and pound with a rolling pin.
Now you have your chopped nuts contained nicely in a bag, ready to add to your ice cream base.
Maple Syrup
This easy homemade ice cream recipe calls for pure maple syrup – but it works fine with artificial maple syrup too!
I tried it, just to make sure!
Yup! Tastes great!
So, if your budget’s tight or if you can’t find pure maple syrup – but still want to make this ice cream – feel free to use artificial maple syrup. You’ll be very happy with the results!
Serving Tip
This ice cream is a special Canadian dessert. If you have leaf-shaped or leaf-decorated bowls – the perfect time to bring them out is when you’re serving this dessert!

Mango Ice Cream Recipe
Mango ice cream is a delicious summer treat. It’s fresh taste is refreshing on a hot day – but if you need a “pick-me-up” ice cream recipe in the winter, you can try this then too!
I’d been wanting to try this ice cream recipe for quite some time – then one day I happened to see the mangos on sale and I couldn’t resist any longer. The result? This delicious recipe.
Our family loved it!
How to Choose a Mango in the Store
If you’ve never had to regularly select a mango at the store, let me give you some tips on how to find the best one.
Appearance
First, I know I’m always attracted to “pretty things,” but when it comes to mangoes – don’t worry about the color. Color doesn’t matter. More or less red does not indicate ripeness.
Touch
The best indicator of ripeness is to feel the mango. The mango should be somewhat firm (not mushy), but have some give to it when you gently squeeze it.
Smell
If you smell the mango at the top, where the stem would have been, you can often smell that mango smell.
Intensifying the Color
Naturally, this ice cream is a pale orange in color.
Do you want a more intense mango color?
Simply add some food coloring to the ice cream until you achieve the color that you’re looking for.
Adding more mango would dilute the ice cream and it would turn out too icy and not creamy enough.
Serving Tip
Enjoy this ice cream garnished with a slice of lime.

Lost in Space
by Diane Baum
(West Bloomfield, MI )
This ice cream game encourages children to use their creativity as they use the ice cream to sculpt a planet! Perfect for a children’s Birthday Party! An adult version of this game is also suggested…that might get a little more rowdy!
What You’ll Need
- Good Night Moon or other short children’s book on space
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Chocolate Sauce
- Marshmallow Creme
- Blue and Green Sprinkles
- Candy Bits (ex. broken pieces of Baby Ruth bars)
- Bowls and Spoons
How to Play
Start out by reading the book “Good Night Moon” or another short story about space.
Then, talk about how the earth and other planets are round…like balls scoops of ice cream.
Give each person one scoops of vanilla ice cream in a paper bowl and instruct them to make a planet using the toppings provided.
Marshmallow creme for clouds, blue sprinkles for water, green sprinkles for land, candy bits for craters, etc.
Each child is a winner, because they get to eat their creation, they get to eat their planet.
Variation
For the adult’s version of Lost in Space, give each person two scoops of his favorite flavor of ice cream in an ice cream fountain dish.
Each person must fill the fountain cup and ice cream with the most toppings.
If a person causes his dish to overflow or make a mess, he automatically loses!
The adult winner is the first person who fills his cup with so many toppings, that their is no clear space in their glass.
…that is why this game is called Lost in Space.
