Remember how, as kids, we all waited to hear that distinctive bell of ice cream carts?

Every time the bell rang, our faces would light up in smiles.

Times have changed and carts have been replaced by ice cream parlours, but the joy of relishing ice creams has not changed.

These two ice cream recipes, we hope, will bring back those memories.

• Take a non stick pan and heat half cup of milk on medium flame.
