Snow Ice Cream (no sugar added)

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!!
