Grow a Garden is a popular Roblox game where you plant seeds, grow crops, and now cook food with the new Cooking Event update (released August 2, 2025). One of the tastiest recipes you can make is ice cream, which you can feed to the pig NPC, Chris P. Bacon, for awesome rewards like Gourmet Seed Packs, Gourmet Eggs, or other exclusive items. This guide explains how to make ice cream in Grow a Garden.
Why Make Ice Cream?
Ice cream is a high-value dish in the Cooking Event. Feeding it to Chris P. Bacon, especially when he’s craving it, boosts your chances of getting rare rewards like Taco Ferrets, Mutation Sprays, or Food Crates (which include items like Pink Cake or Golden Hotdog Statue). It’s quick to make (about 5 minutes and 48 seconds) and uses common ingredients, making it a great choice for players.
Ice Cream Recipes
You can make ice cream using different fruit combinations. The rarity of the ingredients (common, rare, legendary, or mythical) affects the ice cream’s rarity, which can lead to better rewards. Here are the known recipes:
- Recipe 1: 1 Strawberry + 1 Corn
- Recipe 2: 1 Blueberry + 1 Corn
- Recipe 3: 1 Corn + 1 Sweet Crop (like Watermelon, Sugar Apple, or Orange)
- Mythical Variant: 2 Bananas (since bananas are mythical, this makes mythical ice cream)
Note: Prismatic ice cream (the rarest type) isn’t available yet, but using higher-rarity ingredients (like legendary or mythical fruits) increases your chances of better rewards.
How to Make Ice Cream
Follow these simple steps to cook ice cream in Grow a Garden:
- Gather Ingredients: Grow or trade for the needed crops (e.g., Strawberry, Blueberry, Corn, Watermelon, or Bananas). Keep a stock of these in your garden or vault. Corn is a must for most recipes, and sweet crops like Watermelon or Sugar Apple are easy to farm.
- Go to the Cooking Pot: Find the large cooking pot in the center of the game’s lobby. It’s boiling with water and has a chalkboard nearby that lists recipes and ingredients.
- Add Ingredients: Hold one fruit at a time (e.g., 1 Strawberry, then 1 Corn) and press the E key near the pot to toss them in. Add all ingredients one by one.
- Wait or Skip: The pot takes about 5 minutes and 48 seconds to finish cooking ice cream. You can wait or pay 95–200 Robux to skip the timer.
- Collect Ice Cream: Once done, you’ll get your ice cream, ready to feed to Chris P. Bacon.
Feeding Chris P. Bacon
- Check Cravings: Look at Chris P.’s speech bubble (updates hourly) to see what he wants. If he’s craving ice cream, you’ll get better rewards for giving it to him. If you give him something else, you might not get any rewards.
- Rewards: Feeding Chris P. ice cream can give you:
- Gourmet Seed Packs
- Gourmet Eggs (with pets like Bagel Bunny or Sushi Bear)
- Food Crates (with items like Hotdog Cart or Cheese Mat)
- Other exclusives like Pet Shard Fried or Mochi Mouse
- Tip: Use higher-rarity ingredients (e.g., mythical bananas) when Chris P. craves ice cream to boost your chances of rare rewards like Mutation Sprays.
Tips for Success
- Farm Smart: Keep one garden slot for growing corn and sweet crops like Watermelon or Sugar Apple. Use another slot as a vault to store extra ingredients.
- Check the Chalkboard: The board next to the cooking pot shows which ingredients you’ve added and the cooking time. It also changes color (e.g., yellow for ice cream) to show if you’re on the right track.
- Trade for Ingredients: If you’re missing fruits like Bananas or Strawberries, use the game’s trading system to get them from other players.
- Avoid Ice Cream Bean: The Ice Cream Bean is a mythical crop that’s currently unobtainable without admin or testing rights, so don’t rely on it for recipes.
- Save Robux: Wait out the cooking timer unless you’re in a rush, as Robux costs can add up.
Why Ice Cream is Awesome
Ice cream is one of the faster recipes to make (under 6 minutes) and uses easy-to-find ingredients like Corn and Blueberries. It’s a high-tier dish that Chris P. loves, especially when it matches his cravings, giving you a shot at rare pets and items. Unlike basic recipes like soup, ice cream feels special and rewarding. Plus, it’s fun to experiment with different fruit combos to see what rewards you get
Things to Know
- The Cooking Event is part of the Trading Update, so keep checking for new recipes as players discover more combinations.
- If Chris P. isn’t craving ice cream, try other recipes like Cake (2 Blueberries, 1 Corn, 1 Tomato) or Pizza (1 Banana, 1 Tomato) to match his hourly cravings.
