Making ice cream with snow is really fun, and it's a great activity for little kids and adults. Homemade ice cream is also delicious. First of all, these are the things that you need to make a delicious ice cream. You need: a gallon freezer bag, six tablespoons of salt, a quart Ziploc bag, a half cup of half and half, one tablespoon of sugar, and a half teaspoon of vanilla extract.
These are the steps that you need to follow. Fill a gallon freezer bag halfway full with snow or crushed ice. Add six tablespoons of salt to the snow. This will lower the temperature so you can freeze your ice cream. Mix it in a Ziploc bag, zip up the quart bag, squeezing out any excess air. Put the quart bag inside the gallon bag. Close up the gallon bag, again removing any excess air. (Air makes mixing difficult.) Keep your hands from getting too cold by wearing gloves, or wrapping a dry kitchen towel, or newspaper around the bag. Shake the bag until the ice cream is frozen. Remove the smaller bag, cut a corner off, squeeze the ice cream into a bowl, and enjoy!
I am confused. what do you mix up and seal? Define it. The instructions are confusing
ReplyDeleteA Ziploc bag has a seal. It was my assumption that once one places the ingredients in the bag the bag must be sealed shut. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I made it last night and it was delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought to do this. The instructions do leave out specifically putting the half and half, etc. into the quart bag, but I figured that part out.
