Snow Cream Recipe
Elements
- 8 cups clean, freshly crushed ice (or shaved ice if ice is not available)
- 1 cup milk (or heavy cream for extra flavor)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Toppings such as chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or fruit.
________________________________________________
Directions
- Scoop snow:
- Gather 8 cups clean, freshly crushed ice in a large bowl. Avoid snow from the first fall, as it may contain impurities. Make sure the snow is sharp and not compacted.
- Mix the base:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Combine ice and mixture:
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the ice, stirring gently with a spoon until you achieve a creamy consistency. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can melt the ice too quickly.
- Serve immediately:
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones.
- Add your favorite toppings for extra flavor and fun!
________________________________________________
Tips
- If the mixture is too thin, add more ice until it thickens to your liking.
- You can replace the milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- For the chocolatey twist, mix the milk and sugar with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
