On our last snow day, we experimented a bit to find the best snow ice cream recipe anywhere. With only a few ingredients and almost no time to mix up, it's a perfect snow day activity for kids. 
Here's what you need:
When it begins to snow, place a bowl outside to catch the snow as it falls. The bowl should hold approximately 8 cups so it can fit 6 cups of snow and have room to mix. When the bowl is full, mix in sugar and vanilla and then slowly add milk until it is the desired consistency. 
We found that we prefer for the finished ice cream to be more like crumbles than traditional ice cream because it packs down when you scoop it into bowls or cones. If you add too much milk, the ice cream will melt incredibly fast, especially if you eat it indoors. For this reason, we like to eat it outside while enjoying a little snow. 
The result is creamy and delicious, but not too drippy that you're ending up a sticky mess. Just look at these happy kiddos enjoying their snow day with homemade ice cream in minutes. 
I will have to try your recipe. Ever since I was a kid we would just pour homemade maple syrup on our snow to make our “ice cream.”
I have been hearing a lot about snow ice cream but have never tried it. I hear its good. I will have to try making it.
I like that yoiu specify clean snow. If you don’t have access to clean snow, just make chocolate. The added dirt would make it organic.
This sounds great and I have all of the ingredients especially snow.
Your kids are just adorable! My kids would love to make Snow Ice Cream. I will have to do this with them!
Thanks for sharing! I wish we got enough snow in GA to be able to do this! How fun!
We didn’t get snow again this year. I am bummed! I love this recipe! It looks like so much fun!!
I haven’t had snow cream since I was little. It doesn’t snow where I live now.
Oh this looks so fun and good! I think we are getting more snow soon…I have to save this and try it! I think we would have so much fun making it!
I loved making snow ice cream when I was a kid.
