Ice cream is a frozen dessert made from dairy products, such as milk and cream. Because the squash is commonly raised througout the year, the researcher would like to study about squash as ice cream.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The researcher gathered the materials needed. The researcher washed and sliced the squash. It is boiled within 15 minutes after that the researcher let it cool. While waiting to the squash to cool the reseacher cooked the cornstarch and added sugar and condence milk. By using the blender the reseacher mix the squash and the mixed sugar, condence milk and cornstarch. After that the researcher put it on a container and freezed it.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The result of the study is, the people who taste the squash ice cream fill-up an evaluation paper. Many of them agree that the taste, smell, color and appearance were satisfying. Few only agree that it needs improvement.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The researcher therefore conclude that squash ice cream is cheaper than the other ice cream. It is also nutritious because it is made up of squash. And we all that squash has lots of nutrients. About the taste of the ice cream, it is delicious because of the dairy products added.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc33;"><strong>ACKNOWLEDGEMENT</strong></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;">I the researcher would like to acknowledge the following people who made this study successful:</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#3366ff;">To my beloved Research teacher Ms. Balve Granido who helped me to improve my work.
