The dead of winter may not seem like prime time for ice cream more like hot chocolate, cozy stews and tea. And yet, snow cream is
everywhere this winter, especially as the country gets absolutely slammed with snow, proving once again that it s always ice cream o clock.
If you didn t grow up eating snow cream, it s time to hop on board because all it takes is fresh, clean snow, vanilla and some sweetened milk to make the fastest, tastiest winter treat around. It s a super fun activity to do when kids are home on a snow day, but you don t need children to enjoy this simple pleasure.
Optional: ice cream cone, sprinkles, other toppings
Directions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Put the bowl in the freezer, or outside in the snow, for 15 minutes or until cold (this will help prevent the finished snow ice cream from melting too quickly).
Step 2: Stir in fresh, clean snow, about 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is your preferred texture of ice cream. The fluffier the snow, the more you will need.
Step 3: Serve the snow ice cream in bowls or cups and top with sprinkles or other toppings, if you like. Enjoy! Leftovers can be frozen, though it s really best fresh.
