Snow Ice Cream

We’ve had a lot of snow the past month here in Omaha. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to try some homemade ice cream made with snow. 

First of all, I recommend putting a bowl or container of some sort outside to collect fresh snow as it falls. (We use a stainless steel mixing bowl.)  

I suppose if you’re feeling more “adventurous,” you could try and find a clean patch of already-fallen snow in your yard and scoop up some of the white stuff to make ice cream.

Here are the instructions for making snow ice cream (courtesy of Paula Deen via The Food Network).

Ingredients:
8 cups of snow, or shaved ice
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour condensed milk over snow (or shaved ice). Add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls. If desired, add sprinkles.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Time: 5 minutes
