How Is Ice Cream Made?: How the World Works

By Andrew Crotts

Have you ever wondered how milk becomes a cold, creamy scoop of ice cream?

Ice cream may seem simple, but making it takes an amazing combination of ingredients, machines, temperature, science, and careful timing.

How Is Ice Cream Made? takes curious young readers behind the scenes to discover the fascinating journey from milk and cream to the ice cream in their bowl.

Kids will discover how milk, cream, and sugar are measured and blended, why the mixture is carefully heated and quickly cooled, and how special equipment breaks fat into tiny droplets to help create a smooth texture.

Then comes the coolest part Young readers will see how the mixture is frozen and churned at the same time, creating tiny ice crystals while adding air that makes ice cream lighter and creamier. They'll also discover when flavors and mix-ins are added and why freshly churned ice cream is still soft.

Finally, follow the finished ice cream as it is packed into tubs, hardened in a very cold freezer, transported in refrigerated trucks, and kept frozen until it's ready to be scooped and enjoyed.

With colorful illustrations, fascinating cutaways, and easy-to-understand explanations, How Is Ice Cream Made? turns a favorite treat into an exciting lesson in food science and engineering.

Perfect for curious kids who love ice cream, food, machines, science, and discovering how everyday things are made
