WARNING: The following image may cause uncontrollable drooling and extreme hunger. Please view only if freezer is well stocked with ice cream.
We warned you! Now you have to deal with the consequences of viewing such a delicious photo of chocolaty goodness. Okay, now here’s the bad news: The ice cream in this photo is fake. That’s right, fake. Turns out, “ice cream” used for photo shoots is often not really ice cream, but a concoction made to look like the real thing so it doesn’t melt under the hot lights of the studio.
We talked about it before on the Ice Cream Journal (here). Hopefully you have some real ice cream in the freezer though. And if you don’t, go get some to enjoy with family on this Christmas Eve!
TODAY’S PRIZE: On the 11th day of ice cream, my true love gave to me…a cute little monkey ornament made by emgrace on Etsy! Mr. Monkey looks like he can’t wait to dig into that ice cream cone — or share it with a friend. One comment chosen at random from all the comments left on this entry will get to monkey around with this guy.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
