Snow Cream

December 20th, 2007 Emile

Way back in the day my grandfather made some ice cream tasting substance out of snow. As a little kid I found this all kinds of amazing. I hadn’t thought about it in a while so I decided to look up the recipe and maybe if and when it snows here I might give it a shot. Here are the directions I found on the interwebs.

• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• large bowl of snow (about 3 quarts)

And what do you do with all this…
Blend milk, sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough snow to make snow cream to an ice cream consistency.
Thats it.
Feel free to add some chocolate syrup or fruit to make different flavors.

Some important items to note:
You must make sure the snow is clean. It takes at least one to two hours for snow to clean the pollutants from the air, then use only snow that has fallen after that first cleansing snow. Little known fact about the outdoors…gross things happen out there.

This info was pulled from Sandy’s Old-time Snow Cream Recipe
