Cooking Times
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 2-4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- 8 cups clean snow or shaved ice (more or less, depending on the density of the snow)
- optional topping: sprinkles!
Cooking Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk milk, sugar, vanilla and salt together until combined. Go scoop up some fresh (clean!) snow, and immediately stir it into the milk mixture until you reach your desired consistency. (The ice cream should be fluffy, not runny. But it melts quickly, so dive in quickly.)
- Step 2: Top with sprinkles or other ice cream toppings if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*Consume fresh snow at your own risk.
