snow ice cream, or as Tennesseeans say, snow cream ~

It doesn't snow much here, but when it does, enough to not have mud in every bit of it, we make snow ice cream. And yesterday it did! There's still plenty of clean snow for more today! Woohoo!

If you've never made snow ice cream, there are google-able recipes. Paula Deen has one. But that involves measureing. LOL

Here's how I do it:

Snow Ice Cream

Take a big bowl outside and find clean fresh snow. Like on top of a camper, for instance. We had at least 2 1/2 inches on there when I got this. Just get some, don't really worry about measuring it; whatever you think your family will eat at this sitting.

Bring it in, and pour a can of sweetened condensed milk in there, and a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir until it comes together like softserve ice cream. Depending on how much snow you got, you might have to pour some cold milk in there too, to make it 'wetter.'

Serve immediately, because it starts melting right away.

Make more the next day, and maybe even for as long as the snow lasts. LOL
