During a holiday visit to my brother and sister-in-law’s warm and cozy home near Truckee, California we watched the snow fall outside and decided to make snow ice cream.
My sister-in-law Trudy, grew up in Alaska where she learned to make this winter time treat.
First we “harvested” some fresh and fluffy snow. She reminded me to avoid snow under a tree because pine needles tend to make the ice cream crunchy.
Next we brought the beautiful bowl of snow in the house and added cream, sugar, and vanilla.
She added the ingredients and mixed with a spoon. Then she tested it to determine if it was the right taste and consistency. If it is too sweet a person can always gather more snow.
It was simply delish! Thanks Trudy!
Have you ever made ice cream out of snow? Hmm… for those that are on a dairy-free diet, I wonder if it would work to make sorbet?
Wow this is so cool! If we actually get enough snow to try this this year, I’m going for it! Hopefully before any neighbor cats/dogs get to it…
Cool…No snow in Philly….let us know how it goes.
Love snow ice cream. I’ve been making it since I was a kid! My tip is always watch out for the yellow snow. :)
Yes…..a lot of people have been worried about the pollution in snow and thinking we are crazy…what do you think as an old pro has the snow ice cream tasted different through the years?
