Snow ice cream, or snow cream, is super easy to make. You can use other flavors of extract besides vanilla too. Peppermint would work really well.
Ingredients:8 to 10 packed cups freshly fallen snow (avoid the yellow stuff!)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 or 2 handfuls mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
If you know in advance that it’s going to snow, place a clean container outside to collect the snow. If the snow is already on the ground, just find a clean area and scoop some up. Place 8 cups of the snow in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and extract, then check the consistency. If it’s too mushy, add some more snow. When you’ve got it just right, stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon into cones or serving bowls and enjoy immediately.
This ice cream won’t freeze well. You’ll end up with a brick. So plan to make it just in time to enjoy!
Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
My Girl Scouts really enjoyed making, AND eating this one!
