Snow Ice Cream!

Yesterday and today have been snow days for me and the kids!  Michigan is in the midst of a "polar vortex," which means LOTS of snow, air temps below zero with wind chills of -36! Brr. So needless to say, even though all three of us love to play outside in the snow, that was just toooooo cold to go outside.  We have been having fun doing art projects, baking, and playing Uno.  However, all three of us were getting more than a little stir crazy this afternoon.  The internet to the rescue! I decided that we should try out this recipe for snow ice cream. 

As you can see, we have plenty of the main ingredient right out of the back door!

Here are all the ingredients: big bowl of fresh snow, 2 cups milk or cream (we did a mix of 1/2 percent milk and half & half creamer), 2 Tblsp vanilla extract (we used yummy Mexican vanilla), 1 cup sugar, 2 adorable and eager helpers. :)


Just mix everything together, and you're done! Easy-peasy, and yummy!

My taste-testers approved. I had to double check them and have some myself though.
