Ice cream workshop

This afternoon, we had an offsite event with some of our colleagues. The invitation was very attractive as it was for a workshop to learn how to make ice cream and all you can eat ice cream afterwards. Needless to say everybody was very motivated to attend.
The workshop started with the theory followed by practice. First we got to make our own ice cream. Obviously I went for the chocolate flavor. The process of making ice cream turned put pretty simple - I guess they made it simple for us - and within 30 minutes we all could try our own ice cream. Mine was ok but no more. I guess it takes a bit more magic and effort to make good ice creams.
Once we master the art of making ice cream we received a bag with a surprise ingredient for us to make an ice cream. My team got avocado and different spices. We tried different combination and ended up mixing the avocado with ginger and hoped for the best. The outcome was unusual (quite green) to say the least. Not ice cream material to my taste but we had good fun trying different mixes.
The best part of the afternoon was the access to the ice cream shop where we could eat anything and as much as we wanted. 
See below me and my ice cream.


And the green ice cream...

Und die Variation konnte man wirklich essen?
Ich weiß, daß es grünes Eis gibt - aber mit den Zutaten! Schon sehr merkwürdig!
Deine Grundidee mit Schokolade - ist klar akzeptiert!
Und Avocado-Creme als Dipp - OK!
Aber Geschmack für Eis? Brrr!!! Aber ich bin ja für Süßes nicht zuständig! Trotzdem - grünes Eis aus den Gemüsewurzeln - HmHmHm!
