Snow Ice Cream is a delicious homemade ice cream that only uses two ingredients: clean snow & sweetened condensed milk. There is no better snow day activity than making “snow cream” with the kids.
Snow Ice Cream
This recipe could not be easier. But be ready to work fast before the snow melts in your warm house.
Simply take a large bowl outside after a fresh snow and in a clean, untraveled area scoop up 12-14 cups of snow.
Quickly take the snow inside and pour an entire 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk over the snow.
Stir vigorously until the snow starts to clump into “ice cream”.
You can stir in sprinkles if you have them! If you like a little extra flavor stir in 1 tsp. vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp almond extract.
Serve it as soon as it is ready, before it melts. This is not a “save for later” type of ice cream. It will not refreeze well.
Amount of Snow
If you want to have sweeter true ice cream texture then plan to scoop up 12 heaping cups of snow for your snow cream.
If you want a fluffier, lightly sweetened, “I can still tell there is snow in there” grab 14 heaping cups of snow.
