Ice cream just got a serious glow-up, and it all starts with ancient fermentation magic! In this one-of-a-kind kefir ice cream making class in San Diego, you'll dive into the wonderfully bubbly world of cultured milk -- learning how to ferment, how to make ice cream, and how to feel genuinely good about eating it.
Your instructor, Austin, will walk you through everything from scratch, so there's nothing to stress about before you show up. You'll learn how to make kefir, explore the gut-friendly health benefits of this centuries-old elixir, and then watch (and taste) as it transforms into a flight of cultured ice cream flavors that will have your palate doing a happy dance. Dairy lovers will delight in flavors made with organic, pasture-raised milk kefir, while vegan options -- made with coconut milk cultured with water kefir -- mean everyone at the table is covered and celebrated.
If you're hunting for unique date ideas or genuinely interesting things to do in San Diego, this fermentation class delivers an experience you won't find on any regular dessert menu. And the best part? You'll leave with your very own kefir grains, ready to bring the best ice cream in San Diego straight to your kitchen!
