The answer to everything is – ice cream!

Summer is the season of ice cream!

You can find countless flavors around every corner. Ice cream makers are behind the counter scooping one ice cream cone after another.

To make good ice cream, you must:

• know the correct ratios of ingredients,
• master the preparation in the machine, and
• store it at a suitable temperature.

Things done with love, are done much more easily.

With this in mind, Iris Padežnik Malič, who has a master’s degree in management, started her own ice cream story.

It’s a family story!

All five members of the family – Iris, her husband Saša, and their three children – are united by their love for this sweet treat.

When she broke the news that she would be selling homemade ice cream, they immediately supported her. A successful family business was created in which everyone participates.

Our work is organized in such a way that my husband makes ice cream, I take care of all the purchasing and organization, and the children sell it.

As in any ice cream shop, they have certain flavors that everyone wants.

The most popular flavors are Kinder Bueno, salty peanut (with salt from Piran), and Slovenske Konjice Dragon.

The Slovenske Konjice Dragon flavor got its name from a local legend. It combines the green apple flavor, which represents the dragon’s skin, and red watermelon, which represents the fire it spews.

World Ice Cream Day is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of July.

Can you make ice cream at home?

Iris suggests you try to make it right at home with an ice cream maker.

Mix the milk, cream, and sugar then add some mixed fruit. Put everything in the machine for 45 minutes.
