We got 10+ inches of snow this past weekend, and then we got another 4+ inches on Wednesday. So what can you do with all of this snow when you're stuck inside? Make snow ice cream of course!
It's so easy too: 5 ingredients and 5 minutes is all you need. Then, you have a fun, little treat! (And it's not just for kids - my husband and I love it too!)
Snow Ice Cream
(Recipe from Gimme Some Oven)
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 cups (or so) fresh, clean snow
Any toppings you want!
Directions:
1. Whisk together milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl.
2. Add snow to mixture and stir until desired consistency. If it's runny, add more snow!
3. Add your toppings and enjoy eating your snow ice cream immediately (because it melts very quickly!).
Edit (2/7/15): One amazing topping is...hot chocolate mix! We tried it the second night we made snow ice cream, and it was to die for! Trust me, you'll love it!

| Adding hot cocoa mix to the snow ice cream is the best...Mmmmmm! |
We loved making (and eating!) snow ice cream last year, so after we got all of this nice, fresh snow this week, we knew we wanted to make it again. This is becoming one of our favorite winter family traditions!
Have you made snow ice cream before? You should try it if you haven't yet - you'll love it!
Happy Friday!
We used to make snow cream when I was a little girl! I haven't thought about it in so long. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy!! I remember reading a book as a child where they made snow ice cream. I'm saving this recipe so I'm prepared if we ever get some snow here in Mississippi :)
ReplyDeletevery cute idea!

ReplyDeleteNow all I need is snow to try this out!
ReplyDeleteDid you get some this week? Sounds like the South got hit! -Jess
ReplyDeleteOh my word yes. We're at 8" now and expecting some more today. I'm ready for spring!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has made snow cream twice in the last two days. So yummy! Today the kids added food coloring and chocolate chips to theirs. I'm sure hot chocolate would be a good topping as well.I've never tried it but I know my dad puts it on his ice cream.
ReplyDeleteHaha, me too! Over the past few weeks we've gotten at least a foot and a half...I just keep telling myself that in two months, the snow won't be here any more! At least, it better not be! So I'll just enjoy some snow ice cream while we wait til spring...:) -Jess
ReplyDeleteOur kids put sprinkles in theirs. Chocolate chips would be very good! Snow ice cream is definitely the only good thing about snow for me! -Jess
ReplyDeleteI wish we got enough snow to do this. It looks like such fun!!! Missed this post when it originally went out, BUT here from Pin to Present link up :)
ReplyDeleteEven thought snow ice cream is fun, I'm glad you didn't get enough for it haha Bring on the Spring!!!! (Freezing temps for us for the next week...ugh!) -Jess
