Turning snow into a dessert is rather fascinating for kids.  So much so, that my kids request it after every snowfall…even if we’ve only had a light dusting.  It’s a very simple recipe, so you probably already have the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients Needed:

• 2 large bowlfuls of fresh snow
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup sugar

Directions:

Mix milk, vanilla and sugar together.  Pour mixture over 4-6 cups of snow and stir to combine.  Continue to add more snow until you reach the consistency is that of vanilla ice cream.  We typically use 8-10 cups of snow.  Eat immediately; do not try to freeze or refrigerate.

Snow Ice Cream is something that my mom used to make when we were little and the taste brings back so many memories.  I enjoy the treat now almost as much as I did when I was a child.

Enjoy!
