For a long time ice cream was made by hand. A bowl with the ingredients – fruit and cream – was placed inside another bowl filled with ice and salt. The ice and salt mixture was used for freezing.
Nowadays, ice cream can be bought everywhere. It is made by electric ice cream makers. The process of making ice cream is not as long as it was many years ago. All is done by machines.
