Kick The Can Ice Cream
Celebrate National Ice Cream Month by making your own in a fun and unique way! Try this as an activity with family or friends. This is a great idea for a birthday party, too. (You'll need duct tape, one large can and one small can with lids--coffee cans work nicely.)
Makes 6-8 servings.
