To get ice cream in Grow a Garden, you need to cook it using specific garden- grown ingredients at the Cooking Pot in the middle of the garden. Ice cream recipes involve combining plants such as corn with sweet fruits like banana, watermelon, sugar apple, or blueberry. For example, you can make uncommon ice cream with 1 corn and 1 blueberry or 1 strawberry, and rarer ice creams with combinations like banana with sugar apple or banana with watermelon and corn. Here’s how to make ice cream in Grow a Garden:
- Grow or gather the required ingredients (corn, banana, watermelon, sugar apple, blueberry, etc.) in your garden.
- Go to the Cooking Pot located centrally in the garden.
- Equip the ingredients and add them to the Cooking Pot by interacting with it.
- After adding all ingredients, press the Cook button to start the cooking process.
- Once cooked, collect the ice cream dish and give it to Chris P. Bacon if he is craving ice cream for rewards.
Different rarities of ice cream require different ingredient combinations, from uncommon to mythical and prismatic varieties:
- Uncommon Ice Cream: Corn + Blueberry or Corn + Strawberry
- Rare Ice Cream: Watermelon + Corn or Blueberry + Banana
- Legendary Ice Cream: Banana + Watermelon/Apple or Mango + Corn
- Mythical Ice Cream: Banana + Pepper or Loquat or Corn + Sugar Apple
- Divine Ice Cream: Sugar Apple + Sugarglaze
Using rarer ingredients yields higher-tier ice cream and better rewards. Bone Blossom is one rare ingredient needed for the highest prismatic ice cream recipes and is harder to obtain but gives top rewards. Cooking ice cream only takes about 5 minutes but depends on fruit size and rarity. In summary, ice cream is made by cooking together specific edible plants and fruits from your garden in the cooking pot, then serving it to the character Chris P. Bacon, who craves it frequently in the game.
