Hi everyone, today I’m going to show you how to make a unique dessert that will surprise your taste buds: sauerkraut ice cream. But first let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I love this recipe so much.

I grew up in a small town with a big family. We didn’t have much money, but we had a lot of love and laughter. Some of my fondest memories are of spending time in the kitchen with my mom, who taught me everything I know about cooking. She was always experimenting with new recipes and ingredients, and she had a knack for making something out of nothing.

One of the things she taught me was how to make sauerkraut ice cream. She said it was her grandmother’s recipe, and that it was the best thing ever. She said it reminded her of her German heritage, and of the times she spent with her grandparents on their farm. She said it made her forget about all the troubles in the world, like her abusive husband, her alcohol addiction, and her crippling depression.

She would make sauerkraut ice cream for us every Sunday, after we came back from church. It was the highlight of our week. We would sit around the table and enjoy the creamy, tangy, crunchy treat. We would talk about our dreams and hopes for the future. We would pretend that everything was fine, that we were a normal, happy family.

But we weren’t. My mom left our Dad for a voodoo shadow man when I was 16. I think she is a shrunken head somewhere now. My dad decided to get bit by a werewolf so he could join a lycanthrope sports league. Those events left us to go into the foster system.

But I never forgot how the ice cream tasted, how it smelled, how it made me feel. I never forgot how much my mom loved it, how much she loved us. I never forgot her smile, her laugh, her voice.

That’s why I’m here today, to share this recipe with you. To honor her memory, to keep her spirit alive. To show you that no matter how bad things get, there is always something good to look forward to.

So grab your apron and your ice cream maker, and let’s get started!
