Well the kiddos and I are home with a school snow day today, and our county has issued a state of emergency! So we decided to have some fun together and use one of the ideas from my “40 Things to do on a School Snow Day“. After an afternoon of shoveling we made some “Snow Ice Cream” as an afternoon treat!

Buddy thought it was the best thing ever.
Snow Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 6 C of very clean snow*
- 1/2 C Sugar
- 1 C Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- *we used snow that had accumulated on our deck railing
Instructions
-
Put the snow in your biggest bowl.
-
Sprinkle sugar over the top of the snow.
-
Add milk & vanilla and then gently stir until the snow squishes down to about 1/4 of the volume you started with.
-
Once everything seems fully combined, dish into bowls and enjoy immediately!
Thanks – grandkids will be over this afternoon & will enjoy this. Have you ever tried other flavors? I have mint, raspberry & strawberry extracts. I also have almond, anise & rum extracts but don’t think those would go over too well LOL.
We made some with a different recipe. The kids loved it!! What else can you do with all this snow?
Update – we made it using strawberry extract & the kids loved it.
Darcey-there are lots of great recipes out there! And you are right, what else to do with all the snow eh?
Terry-Glad to know other flavors work-and that the kids loved it!
We made this too! We’re in Texas, so snow isn’t as common of an occurrence, and is probably more exciting to us than those up north. 🙂 Everyone was passing this recipe around and we really thought it tasted a lot like homemade vanilla ice cream. A lot cheaper, too!
we really enjoyed the ice cream and it tasted soooo good. Yummie! 🙂
Great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
