Sweet Rose Creamery Makes Banana Ice Cream in Ms. Bihari's Class

Yesterday Chris and Bella from Sweet Rose Creamery visited Ms. Bihari's 3rd grade class and made banana ice cream with the students.  Sweet Rose is part of the Rustic Canyon Restaurant Group owned by Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan who live in Santa Monica Canyon. The Pacific Palisades store is on Monument.

Chris asked the children the name the main ingredients in ice cream. They stated eggs, cream, milk and sugar.  Sweet Rose uses organic ingredients and purchases many of them at the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

The children participated in making banana ice cream. They combined the liquid mixtures, broke the bananas in pieces, added sugar, vanilla and salt, helped blend the mixtures and tasted the mix at two times during the mixing process. Chris and Bella had brought a small ice cream mixing machine so the children could see the process on a small scale.

Since the mixing in the machine would take 90 minutes, Chris and Bella brought along some pints of banana ice cream and some brownie bites for the children to taste.  The children enjoyed their generous snack!

Thanks to Lily, Debbie and Winter for assisting.
