Doug's Snow IceCream or (how to make ice cream from snow)

This is a strange thing that my grandma and mother have handed down to me.   It always made snow days extra special because in addition to staying home from school,  that wondrous white material could be made in a tasty treat.   To this day I think my love of snow is probably tied in some small way to snow icecream.

The steps are easy and the materials are simple:
1 Can of Milnot (in the cooking section)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
3 eggs
Tsp Vanilla

2 large containers(one for snow,  one to mix)

Step 1: Mix the first three

put the 3 eggs,  tsp of vanilla and cup of sugar in your first bowl and whip them up.   Not much,  just enough to get them mixed well.

 What could you substitute for condensed milk?

[thebeef2]

 Would sweetened condensed milk work?

There was an episode of the kids show Little Bear where little bear's mother made snow ice cream. Now even though my kids are older I know how to do it! Thank you :)

wow.  you totally made it worth the trouble.   This is why instructables is so cool.

Wow, can't believe there is an instructable on Snow Cream!  My mom used to make this every time we got a good snow.  Now my kids beg me to make it every time they hear it will snow.  I always heard you never use the first snow of the season for snow cream, though.  I use condensed milk, no need for sugar.  Great stuff..thanks!  We are getting 2 feet of snow in Va tomorrow...heading to the store tonight for ingredients.

pretty cool but mine is easier and doesn't give you salmanilla from the raw eggs..    :-P

[dggriffi]

salmanilla from eggs is VERY rare.   In fact,  its probably more dangerous to eat sushi than raw eggs.   Organic eggs might be more dangerous though.  I personally wouldn't give up raw cookie dough either.  none the less...


This recipe contains raw eggs.   If you are afraid of raw eggs,  do not make this.

Salmonella. It depends where they're coming from though
