We are having yet another snow day today. This time we actually had some accumulation - so I ran out to gather some snow with the kids (and do a little sledding too of course.)
After we came in the kids wanted hot cocoa (I didn't tell them why we were collecting the snow) I told them I had another plan, after all why warm up with cocoa when you can have snow cream?
I went to grab my ingredients: Condensed milk and vanilla but when I opened the condensed milk it was nasty!! It was brown and smelled pretty bad. I did a quick search online and could not believe how many snow cream recipes there were. Here is what we ended up doing. Enjoy!!
What you need:
about 8 cups of clean snow
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla
Pour over snow
Gently fold
We topped it with chocolate syrup - yum!!
I used to fill a ziplock bag with Rice Dream, cream, and a little vanilla, and bury it out in the snow while I played. Then 15 minutes later it was ice cream! This was before I knew anyone else used snow as an ice cream making method. lol!
