Making ice cream is not easy. Cream and sugar have to first be mixed in a frozen container. Ingredients may be added at this point, if desired. Then, the mixture must be stirred and whipped until the cream and sugar mixture is frozen. Depending on the equipment, this may take as long as an hour. After the ice cream is prepared, it must be kept frozen until it is ready to be enjoyed. Making ice cream is taxing, but most people would agree that it is worth the work.

It was the most beautiful banana split that I had ever seen. In the middle of the bowl, there were three huge scoops of ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. On top of the ice cream, there was a delicious banana and thick web of chocolate and caramel sauces. A huge puff of whipped cream covered the sauces and a handful of crushed nuts dappled the whipped cream. On top of it all was a plump and juicy cherry.
