For some reason this was the first winter I thought about
the snow ice cream my mom used to make for us, probably because I have a toddler now and I thought she would really enjoy it. We didn’t have any money
growing up, so snow ice cream was a great treat for us!
I wondered if snow ice cream was a real thing or something
my mom had invented. Where to go and see if a recipe exists? Pinterest of course! Sure enough,
Pinterest has everything, including recipes for snow ice cream!
I looked at several and they either all used sweetened
condensed milk or milk and sugar. I wanted to do mine without sugar, so here's my recipe:
¼ cup milk
¼ tsp vanilla
¼ cup maple syrup
Mix these together then go get about 5 cups of fresh snow
and pour the liquid over the snow, mix well and voilĂ , snow ice cream! This
makes about 2 cups of ice cream. You’ll want to be sure to eat it right away
because it melts pretty quickly and doesn’t re-freeze well. Enjoy!!
It was a hit!! |
