Neapolitan Icecream
You ever heard a song that you just couldn't get out of your head?
This is how I felt about 愛♡スクリ~ム! by AiScReam
And thanks to this project I've listened to it enough times that I've gotten it out of my system. I've enjoyed going back to this song as much as I enjoy going back to a second helping of deliciously cold ice cream in the sweltering summer heat.
The flavour that I like is the natural choice for someone with a chronic inability to pick one single option. Neapolitan ice cream combines chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in a flavour odyssey that's as satisfying at the end as it was at the start. Just like the song that inspired this project❣

- cashews1.5 cups
- plant-milk 1 cup
