Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh, clean snow
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Step outside and collect 8 cups of clean, freshly fallen snow into a large mixing bowl. Avoid scooping too close to the ground to ensure purity. Bring the snow inside and store it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Retrieve the snow from the freezer. Gradually pour the milk mixture over the snow while gently stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the snow reaches a fluffy, creamy consistency. Avoid overmixing, as this can cause the snow to melt too quickly.
Taste the snow cream and adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor as desired by stirring in a bit more sugar or vanilla extract.
Serve immediately in small bowls or mugs. Optional: Top with sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flair. Enjoy this frosty delight before it melts!
