Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract [usda:2050]
- 1 pinch salt
- 8-10 cup fresh, clean snow
- optional: ice cream cone, sprinkles, other toppings
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Put the bowl in the freezer, or outside in the snow, for 15 minutes or until cold (this will help prevent the finished snow ice cream from melting too quickly).
- Stir in fresh, clean snow, about 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is your preferred texture of ice cream. The fluffier the snow, the more you will need.
- Serve the snow ice cream in bowls or cups and top with sprinkles or other toppings, if you like. Enjoy! Leftovers can be frozen, though it's really best fresh.
