I scream…You can go through that poem on your own time.  It’s summer; I want ice cream but don’t have an ice cream maker.  I do have a set of beaters.  I had my daughter try this first, and she gave it high marks.  I know you’re going say “ricotta cheese?” but think about it – cheese started as milk, so relax.  It’s thick and creamy.  Hey is not Bob and Terry’s but it’s ice cream.   I hope you like it.
