snow ice cream recipe

snow ice cream is a simple, 1 ingredient ‘recipe’ plus everything you have on hand! it’s the perfect activity for any age and a great way to spend your kids’ snow days!

we just got hammered with about 8 inches of snow and while i don’t necessarily love winter, i am a huge believer that if it’s going to be cold, it should snow too!apparently i’ve been living under a rock because i had never heard of snow ice cream! a quick search on pinterest for snow activities over the weekend pulled up tons of pins for snow ice cream and i can now see why!! literally the easiest thing to make and it was DELICIOUS!
we’re pulling out this recipe from last year and while you can get fancy with other ingredients, it’s just as yummy with one ingredient…sweetened condensed milk! get those kids involved and enjoy this simple, yummy treat!

ready for it?? here’s the ‘recipe’ if you can even call it that…

snow ice cream

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
about 12 c. of snow
any additional ice cream toppings!

pour, mix….THAT’S IT!!

the girls loved it because they literally did the entire thing by themselves!
after they stirred and stirred and i was busy taking pictures, it got a little soupy, so i did go ahead and add in about 3 more cups. i think it just depends on how fluffy the snow is, but just add a bit more until it’s thicker!
you can also add in a teaspoon or so of vanilla if you want!

by the time they were down to the bottom, it had become soupy so they drank the rest and of course licked the bowl!
it makes quite a bit, so stick the bowl back outside in the snow and cover and it will harden right back up…zach and i polished off the whole bowl!

enjoy!!

  1. i love your outfit for the party! but oh wow, i kind of forgot about snow ice cream! my grandpa would make it for us.. i never had it with cute toppings though! definitely going to have to try this with my daughter when she’s a little older.

  2. Okay, first of all you look amazing and I can’t believe that dress was so inexpensive!! great score! And your girls are adorable! We’ve never made snow ice cream either, if we get any snow this season I’ll have to try it with my kiddos!

  3. I grew up in New Mexico, where we admittedly didn’t get much snow. But there was one year when we got a ton, and my mom made us snow ice cream. I still remember the awe and excitement of making and eating it! So much fun!!!

  4. What an awesome dress! You look gorgeous! This is such a darling dessert for Winter. I’ll have to remember this for our next snow day!
