9 recipes to tackle those pregnancy cravings

Ice cream

OK, our version takes a few hours to make, six to be exact, but that’s how long it feels like when you send your partner to the store to get you some, right? This is vanilla, but you can play around with flavours and, knowing you and your hormonal body, they are probably going to get a little weird. Get the recipe: Three-ingredient Ice Cream
