Home Schooling - Ice Cream "Heart"

Every now and then but not often yet too often I get books out of the library. I hate doing it because I never manage to return them on time (Shock horror I did this time). Grabbing a couple of cook books for the children to go through and see what they wanted to make. Of course the PINK HEART shaped 'cake' with those "things" was chosen. So I thought I better.

I told my very beautiful and lovely sister-in-law (who tries nicking my kids) about it and that I wanted to buy a heart shape pan & she gave me one (to borrow - hey its still in my cupboard). I was rapt!!
Kids were rapt-ter!!

I remember being a kid and seeing these amazing photographed dishes of food (like the cake book done by women's weekly - you know what I'm talking about!) & wanting to bake them so they looked EXACTLY alike. Sometimes we did but it never seemed to be the same. So I purposely set out to be a fun mum on this one *no matter the cost* you know how it is.

HOW TO:
So, you scoop multiple spoons of ice cream into the pan, cover it with clingwrap and press down. The heat from your hands makes the top 'flat'. Then freeze. When frozen place in a sink of shallow hot water for around 30 seconds then tip out on a plate and put into freezer again.
Ice with whipped cream, icing sugar & decorate. It can go back into the freezer like that. Serve.

I'm telling you though, be careful what you show your children. We are a sucker for pink and heart shaped things in our house. Especially with lollies on top.

Just so you know, it tastes like ICE CREAM :) Although I reckon it would be better made in SUMMER then in winter... Just Sayin
