I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Snow-Cream

Here's our attempt at having a little snow-fun. Since we had drifts almost 3 feet high of pristine, white snow, we thought we'd try the snow ice cream creation recipe.

Recipe:
Collect 8 cups snow (supposed to do this in a bowl as it falls...but our bowl would have been buried under a giant drift)

Add to the snow:
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 to 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Milk (use more/less to achieve ice cream consistency)
Mix together all ingredients until mixture is desired consistency.

Serve and enjoy!

Andrew and Nathan adding sugar.

Nathan helps add milk and stir.

Two crazy boys with their ice cream. Nathan is giving a nice posed effect and Andrew is showing off his culinary skills by pretending to stir.

I have to say I was stunned at how close to ice cream this was. Unfortunately, ours had way too much vanilla since I use pure vanilla extract instead of imitation vanilla. I should have reduced the vanilla. Just add about 1/2 the milk and see if you need the rest. We ended up needing a little more than a cup to get the right texture.

Next time, I may try chocolate!
