Good or Bad Snow Is Here .... Might as well have Snow Cream

 

So the weatherman says we need to prepare for a winter storm... The stores go crazy everyone trying to buy the needed items. ... How much will we get?? ?How many days will kids be out of school??

After the snow starts to fall we all know there is nothing else we can do so we might as well enjoy it. In fact it does look a bit beautiful. In our family it does not take long before they are gazing out the windows and ready to go play. 

While it was not warm enough for the youngest one to go out we did bring her some in to share the experience of her first snow. 

So after that it was time for a sweet treat... a bit of snow ice cream. 

1 cup milk (any kind)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

8 cups clean snow or shaved ice (more or less, depending on the density of the snow)

optional topping: sprinkles!

In a large bowl, whisk milk, sugar, vanilla and salt together until combined. Go scoop up some fresh (clean!) snow, and immediately stir it into the milk mixture until you reach your desired consistency.  (The ice cream should be fluffy, not runny.  But it melts quickly, so dive in quickly.)

Top with sprinkles or other ice cream toppings if desired, and enjoy!
