Transporting ice cream in a food jug? What initially sounds unusual is a great way to have a cool refreshment on the go, especially in summer. Thanks to the double-walled 18/8 stainless steel insulation, our Food Jugs not only keep warm food reliably at temperature, but also ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt so cool that it doesn't melt.
Most people know our Food Jugs as reliable companions for warm meals. Whether it's soup on a winter hike, chili while camping or lunch in the office. But the same insulation technology also ensures that cold food and desserts stay chilled for many hours.
With a pre-chilled food jug, you can reliably transport not only ice cream. Sorbet, frozen yogurt and ice cubes for cold drinks also stay cold for a long time. And the best part: you can eat directly from the container. With many of our food jugs, the lid also serves as a practical bowl. Ideal for hikes, camping trips, bike tours, or a day at the lake.

Ingredients:
- 250 ml whipping cream
- 200 g sweetened condensed milk
- 8 chocolate cookies
- 50 g dark chocolate

Recipe 3: Frozen Yoghurt with raspberries
Ingredients:
- 500 g Greek yoghurt
- 200 g raspberries
- 2 tsp marple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- a few fresh raspberries for serving
Preparation:
Blend the raspberries with marple syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth. Stir the raspberry purée into the Greek yogurt and transfer the mixture to a shallow container. Freeze it for at least 4 to 5 hours. During the first 2 hours, stir the mixture with a fork every 30 to 45 minutes to help create a smoother texture with smaller ice crystals. Before filling your food jug, pre-chill it with ice water. Then transfer the frozen yogurt directly from the freezer into the food jug to keep it cold for longer.
