Recipes for Snow Ice Cream - Easy & Fun to Make

By -
Today, it is predicted that Vermont is getting heaps of snows! Many activities can ONLY be done with fresh snow, but one in particular is certain to tickle your taste buds. Use fresh, clean snowflakes to make your own ice cream. This recipe is a great way to get outside and have fun with family and friends while creating a treat!

Fresh Snow Ice Cream (vanilla)
Ingredients:
1 gallon of clean snow
1 can of condensed milk
2 cans of evaporated milk
1/2 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of vanilla

Directions:
Best if made outside, so the bowls stay cold while mixing. Gently fold the condensed and evaporated milk into the snow. Add the sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Stir until it looks like ice cream and then serve in a bowl or cone.

For those of you that are chocolate lovers, adjust the ingredients a little.

Fresh Snow Ice Cream (chocolate)
Ingredients:
1 gallon of clean snow
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup of evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
unsweetened cocoa to taste

Mix all ingredients together except for the cocoa. Add the cocoa at the end until it is chocolaty enough for you.

Add fruit, caramel, maple syrup, sprinkles, nuts, or other toppers for a sundae delight!

ENJOY!
