I Scream for Ice Cream!

It's National Ice Cream month! Well it is in America, but hey this is webworld so we share don't we? Jenn over at Sweet Candy Creations is having the cutest of socials - it's adorable!
So just as a little tribute - as I am a bit late joining the party - take a ganda at this!
I recently spied this on Etsy and got very excited! It was a recipe booklet from the great US of A and I just had to have it (again). The thought of making all that 'vintage' ice cream filled my heart with yummy excitement.
But - DISASTER! What I hadn't expected was that I needed a mystery ingredient (a magic one no-less)
Oh no - it's an advertisement for Jell-O Ice Cream Powder (yum....hmm....yuk?)
So if anyone out there has managed to keep some Jell-O Ice Cream Powder for the past 80 years - share and share alike ladies! TTFN xxx

    I agree with Victoria, the Americans always seem to have so much more fun.
    I did mean to join in this party but forgot all about it.
    Shame about the Jell-O powder.

    Thanks for your visit. I love your blog. My grandson and I are having so much fun with your little black cat widget. All your ice cream images are precious, and I have never seen any of them. Thanks for the party.

    Hi again Fleur,

    Yes I'm joining the Oz party! I'm not sure what to do yet either, I think I need to watch the film at the weekend for some inspiration!

    Wow! I wonder if there's some kind of substitute for the powder - if we could find out what was in it (prpbbly a thickening agent, I imagine) you might be able to recreate your recipes!

    Happy Ice Cream month!
