Snow Ice Cream Recipe
We are going to talk about how to make ice cream from snow with this simple Homemade Snow Ice Cream recipe.
First, yes you can make ice cream from snow. It is a lot easier than you might think and the kids simply love it.
Just the idea that ice cream is magically formed from snow is so magical to children and the fact that they can make it is even more fun. I promise – Snow ice cream is much easier than you think.
You just need 4 simple ingredients to make it and I bet you already have everything already – you just need to wait for it to snow. That is the hardest part. 🙂
Our kids devour it and ask for it immediately every time snow begins to fall, so I thought it was finally time for me to take a minute to show you how to make snow ice cream.
If you are not already making this, it will soon become a family tradition after you start to make it. It is just so easy and a great treat.
Is snow ice cream safe?
Yes, it is. Just use precaution in the snow you get to make the snow cream. You obviously do not want to get snow that has dirt in it or debris.
Ingredients for snow ice cream:
- 1 cup of milk (any kind will do)
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 8-10 cups of CLEAN snow
- sprinkles (optional)
How to make snow ice cream:
First, in a large bowl, add milk, sugar, and vanilla. Mix together.
Next, slowly mix in the clean snow. We start with 8 cups but usually end up with 10 cups of snow to get the consistency that we want.
Keep adding until you get the desired consistency you like.
Add sprinkles if you want and eat immediately before it melts. 😉 It melts quickly so you don’t want to delay enjoying this yummy treat.
The sprinkles are totally optional but sure add a festive touch. Plus, kids love sprinkles so it is just extra fun.
It seems we always have leftover sprinkles in the cabinet from one of our baking days. I let the kids choose which ones they want to use and it is even more special.
Now you know how to make ice cream out of snow!
See… Snow Ice cream is really that easy to make.
It takes us less than 5 minutes to make this simple snow ice cream recipe and the kids can make it all on their own. Next time your yard is covered in snow, take some nice clean snow and make some homemade snow ice cream.
Can you freeze snow ice cream?
