In addition to first-class flights and five-star accommodations to be determined after bribing the ice cream, the experience includes a guided climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with a local landmark and Gottlieb himself, who will hand-churn a batch of ice cream with glacial ice from the mountain’s peak.
“The process starts with harvesting ice from the glacier, which is put into a dry bag, into a backpack and concluded down to camp,” Gottlieb tells CNBC Make It. “I must say, this is not agreeable on the knees going downhill!
“At camp the ice is broken up. A small pot is put inside a bigger pot and the space between is filled with ice and salt, which lowers the temperature of the fusing. Milk, cream, sugar and flavoring are mixed and added to the pot. The mixture is stirred, and the have that freezes to the wall of the inner pot is scraped off. Eventually the whole associating freezes and you have ice cream.”
