Snow Ice Cream!!!

My mom always made snow ice cream after the first major snow storm of the year. It brings back fond memories. I was inspired to make some since we've been snowed in and it's fairly figure friendly. Give it a try!





You need 8 cups of clean snow ; )
1 cup of any type of milk or cream
1 t extract (vanilla, brandy, rum, almond, mint- depends on what flavor you're going for)
sugar to taste
A dash of salt, brings out sweetness


You're only limited by your imagination = D
Egg Nog Ice cream - nutmeg + rum extract
Chocolate Mint - mint extract + cocoa powder or chocolate syrup
Chocolate Almond - almond extract + cocoa powder + almond milk
Vanilla Ice Cream - vanilla extract + milk or cream
Fruit Ice Cream - fruit + brandy or rum + cream


Here is Paula Deen's recipe, more of a treat than the one with milk, but still healthier than regular ice cream, Megan says it's great!

  1. I just made some with splenda, 3/4 cup 1% milk, and lots of vanilla extract. Came out to only 40 cals and was delicious! Thanks for the idea!
