Mav and I saw that his cousin McKenna was making snow ice cream the other day, and we wanted in on the action! So this morning I decided that this would be our 'Snow Day Activity' for today. And bonus, I already had all the 'ingredients' in my 'pantry.'
*Have you noticed how when people post recipes, they're all like, "This one is so easy, and it's probably stuff you already have in your pantry!" Umm, I usually have exactly none of those things. Want to know what's currently in my cupboards? A ridiculous amount of canned chicken noodle and tomato soups, a loaf of bread, 4 boxes of Cap'n Crunch, and the bottom two shelves I have no idea about because I shove things down there and then forget about them because I can't really see them.*
6 cups of snow
1/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla
Start by bundling up and heading outside to gather your six cups of snow from the frozen tundra
Put 3 cups in the freezer to dump in later
Add milk, sugar, and vanilla to your bowl of snow (I threw in a little extra vanilla)
Stir in the 3 cups of the snow from the freezer
Put everything back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm up a little bit, pull it out and you have LITERAL HOMEMADE ICE CREAM but it was way easier and cheaper to make. Plus it didn't require pulling a huge machine from the depths of your cupboards.
Cuddle up tonight with your loves and stay warm!
