We had a beautiful, fluffy snowfall Christmas Eve morning. My friend Joanne suggested we make some Snow Ice Cream. So, the girls and I collected a huge bowl of clean, fresh snow, and set to it!Â
Snow Ice Cream
You will need:
1 gallon fresh, fluffy snow, give or take.
2 cups whole milk or 1 cup whole milk + 1 cup eggnog (or for vegans, 2 cups hazelnut or almond milk would be tasty, don’t you think?)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 scant cup granulated sugar
In a very large bowl, combine the milk, sugar and vanilla.
Add in handfuls of snow until the mixture comes together.
Keep stirring, it takes a while!
Firecracker declares it, “Martha Stewart good!”
Enjoy!
Fun!!
Yummy fun! I tried to talk JumbleSon in to making some, but he wouldn’t hear of it…doesn’t like the “cold snow” 😉
fun, easy and cool! looks delicious too! going to try this with my girlfriend soon!
We make snowcones often, but haven’t done icecream.
Next storm!
Thanks!
I remember doing this as a kid! What a fun the to share with my kids. Thanks for the reminder:)
Oh my goodness! That sounds like so much fun!
I’d love to try this, but it somehow seems less appealing living in NYC. Any tips on enhancing the color of gray snow?
I can’t wait to try this – now if it would only SNOW instead of ice!!!
Oh wow, this brings back memories! sadly it doesn’t ever snow where we live now, but i might just have to make my mum send me some snow!
What a great idea! I have never heard of this before. But I’ve only lived in a snowy area for a couple years now. I’ll have to ask my friends if they’ve tried it. I’m not sure we’ve got any clean snow right now, but after the next snow fall I am totally doing this with my kids. They are going to love it!
For the first time in a month… I want snow again.
what a fun post! I love your blog! I’m the editor of the Creative Bliss channel on Blissfully Domestic and would love to have you join our team of contributors! If you’re interested drop me a note at sylvia{at}blissfullydomestic{dot}com!
This brings back great memories – sadly it doesn’t snow much in Texas!
Perhaps our next vacation up “north” will give us a chance to try this out.
So much fun! We got another foot of snow over the weekend – will have to collect up a gallon and make some yummy ice cream!
We have been doing this since I was a kid in Kentucky (I live in Illinois for about 24 years now)> Anyway, I was concerned about the quality of snow up here i the north (we rarely saw an airplane where I grew up at). So, I set boundaries, not the first snow, unless it was really deep, so as to clear the air of a lot of pollutants. We scrape of the top layer and ‘go for the gold……I mean snow.’ Jo
We made this all the time when I was a kid! We loved it. My mom made it with maple extract…mmm so good!
I was born, raised, and live in Florida, someone send me some snow!!! This sounds like such a fun treat to make and eat.
oh my! We are predicted to get 9 inches of snow tonight, maybe we can get rid of some of it by doing this LOL!
