Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh clean snow
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk (or sweetened condensed milk for a richer flavor)
Instructions
1. Ensure the snow is freshly fallen and clean. Collect 8 cups of snow in a large bowl. Work quickly to prevent it from melting.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vanilla extract with the milk, whisking until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the snow while gently folding the ingredients together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can cause the snow to melt and lose its fluffy texture.
4. Once combined and the ice cream has a creamy consistency, taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more sugar.
5. Serve immediately in bowls or cones for a delightful vintage dessert reminiscent of simpler times.
6. Optional: Top with sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or crushed cookies for extra flair.
