Why Make Snow Ice Cream
Making snow ice cream is a fun, spontaneous activity that turns a snowy day into a delicious experience. It’s easy, quick, and made with simple ingredients you likely already have. Plus, it’s a great way to involve kids in the kitchen and make memories on snow days!
How to Make Snow Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole or any milk of choice)
1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 cups clean, fresh snow (or shaved ice as a substitute if snow isn’t available)
Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, sprinkles, crushed cookies
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Gradually add the fresh snow, about 2 cups at a time, stirring gently after each addition until the mixture reaches a soft, ice cream-like consistency.
- Once fully mixed, serve immediately for the best texture.
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
How to Serve Snow Ice Cream
Serve immediately after making for the creamiest consistency. Scoop into bowls or cones and top with syrup, sprinkles, or a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. It’s perfect for enjoying right after a snowball fight or while warming up indoors.
How to Store Snow Ice Cream
Snow ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours. It may become harder or icy, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir before eating.
Tips to Make the Perfect Snow Ice Cream
- Use clean, freshly fallen snow (avoid snow that’s been sitting out or near roads).
- For richer flavor, use whole milk or even a splash of heavy cream.
- Adjust sugar to your taste—some prefer it more or less sweet.
- Stir gently to avoid melting the snow too quickly.
- Want it extra creamy? Add a spoonful of condensed milk to the mixture.
Variation
Switch things up by adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version, or swirl in strawberry syrup for a fruity twist. Use coconut or almond milk for a dairy-free option. Top with sprinkles, crushed cookies, or mini marshmallows for extra fun. Add a drop of peppermint extract for a refreshing minty flavor!
