A few years ago while surfing Facebook, I came across a recipe for how to make ice cream out of snow - Snow Cream! Each time we have done it, it has been fun and delicious! This is a quick, inexpensive treat that is perfect to make to bring the fun of winter indoors!
I have come across a few different methods, but the one below is what we have stuck with. You don't need much, after all the main ingredient can be found right outside!
What you need:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups of clean snow ( we like to place the bowl outside while the snow is still falling)
Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract for taste. I have to admit we have at times added a bit more of both. Stir in the milk, and keep stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Keep some extra of both snow and milk on hand, in case you need to add a bit more of either. You really need to keep mixing and mixing, and soon enough you will have a soft ice cream consistency that forms.
You can even add your typical ice cream toppings if you like, we like ours plain. Enjoy!
