Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups freshly fallen, clean snow
- 1 cup cold milk*
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- the tiniest pinch of salt
Instructions
- Go outside with a large bowl and a ladle. Play until you’re too cold to stay any longer.
- Fill the bowl with about 6 cups of fresh, clean snow. Leave it on the porch for now to keep it frozen.
- Go get warmed up and prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Mix the cold milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl.
- Go get your bowl of snow. Pour the milk mixture into the snow and gently mix it with a wooden spoon or a spatula.
- Serve right away before it melts!
Notes
- *Milk: I prefer using fresh whole milk. The richer the milk, the creamier the snow cream will be. You can also use canned evaporated milk. If you use reduced-fat milk or a non-dairy substitute, note that it will alter the taste and texture.
- Storage: Snow cream is best served immediately. You can freeze leftovers in a covered, freezer-safe container.
