It was not until after World War II that freezers became available to the common man. As a result, the ice cream industry really took off, as people could now keep the ice cream, too, instead of eating it right away.

It is often said that ice cream is very unhealthy. That is a bit short-sighted! It is true that ice cream contains a lot of sugar, but on the other hand there are indeed advantages to eating ice cream. Let's list the pros and cons:
-
Cons: Ice cream contains a lot of sugar. Ice cream is high in calories. Ice cream is high in fat. Ice cream can contain many E numbers. Are there ice creams without e-numbers? Ice creams that are factory made usually contain a whole range of E numbers. E numbers are additives approved by the EU that improve taste, color and shelf life.
-
Approved by the EU does not mean that it is also good for your health.

There are E-numbers that are made from purely vegetable substances, which are generally quite safe. But there are also chemical E numbers that are not very appreciated by most people. Take aspartame, for example, an E number approved by the EU.
-
This sweetener is mainly used in Cola products and is increasingly associated with diseases and disorders in young people. Some ice creams also contain aspartame.
-
When you buy ice cream, read the ingredients list carefully. If you come across E numbers or vague descriptions, chances are that this ice cream is not very healthy. Although E-free ice creams do exist, the search can be very complex.
-
To get you started, a list of ice cream brands / types that do not contain harmful E-numbers:
-
I would also like to mention that the famous water ice cream Rocket, the tricolor ice cream from Ola, and the Magnum from the same manufacturer, contain E numbers E407 or E120.

-
There are two ways to make ice cream manually:
-
There are recipes that require you to heat the ingredients milk and cream first, then add the flavoring ingredients and then put the mixture in the freezer to set it up.
-
There are also plenty of recipes where you can just mix everything cold, after which it can further freeze in the freezer.
-
Whichever method or recipe you use: It is important to know that during freezing you have to stir the ice cream regularly to maintain the creamy texture of the ice cream. Failure to do this will cause ice crystals to form which will harden the ice and spoil the taste.
-

Once you have mastered this recipe, you can start varying by adding ingredients such as pieces of (dark) chocolate, peaches, strawberries or raspberries.
