Snow Cream


When I was a little girl my Mama and Granny used to always help my sister and me make snow cream. It brings back good memories of my Granny when I smell the vanilla and sugar. I can even remember the big orange plastic bowl we used when we made snow cream at her house.

Here are pictures of my kids making snow cream and a quick how to if you have never made it.
(PS - if you think it is gross to eat snow you are missing it - live a little - just get the snow from the middle and don't eat the yellow kind :)


First - it has to snow - there is no way to substitute for real snow so you just have to pray for snow - and you probably should pray for several inches so your not eating muddy snow

Second - get a big bowl of snow
(as said above - from the middle - avoiding yellow snow)

The ingredients- pure and simple - milk, sugar and vanilla extract

Find some cute kids to stir it all up - I don't know how much of each but here is a guess - start with 3/4 cup of milk, 2 capfuls of vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar - add more milk if it needs to be thinner - more sugar if it needs to be sweeter - all depends on how much snow you have

When it's done it will be like "melty" ice cream

ENJOY!!
