Amanda Peet is not only a talented actress, but also a devoted mother and a chocolate ice cream lover. She reveals how she indulges in her favorite treat and why it makes her happy.
Peet, who was born and raised in New York City , says she has always loved chocolate ice cream since she was a little girl. “It’s rich and decadent, and it reminds me of my childhood,” she says. “I used to go to the ice cream parlor with my dad and sister, and we would always get chocolate cones.”
Now that she has two daughters of her own, Frances and Molly, Peet enjoys sharing her passion for chocolate ice cream with them. She says they often go out for some ice cream in NYC, especially on hot summer days. “It’s a fun way to bond with them and cool off,” she says. “They love chocolate ice cream too, but sometimes they like to try other flavors.”
Peet admits that she doesn’t limit herself to chocolate ice cream only. She says she likes to experiment with different toppings and combinations, such as sprinkles, nuts, caramel sauce, or even fruit. “I like to mix it up and have some variety,” she says. “But chocolate ice cream is always my base.”
Peet also reveals that chocolate ice cream helps her cope with stress and anxiety. She says that whenever she feels overwhelmed by her busy schedule or her roles in movies and TV shows, such as The X-Files: I Want to Believe and The Good Wife, she treats herself to some chocolate ice cream. “It’s my comfort food,” she says. “It makes me feel calm and relaxed.”
Peet says that chocolate ice cream is not only delicious, but also good for her health. She cites some studies that show that dark chocolate can lower blood pressure, improve mood, and boost brain function. “Chocolate ice cream has some benefits,” she says. “Of course, I don’t eat too much of it. Everything in moderation.”
Peet hopes that her love for chocolate ice cream will inspire others to enjoy their favorite treats without guilt or shame. She says that everyone deserves to have some fun and pleasure in their lives. “Chocolate ice cream makes me happy,” she says. “And I think happiness is important.”
