Snow ice cream is a fun, quick and easy treat you can make when you have fresh snow to work with!  We have tried other snow ice cream recipes, but this is definitely our favorite. This isn’t your average snow with milk!

Ingredients

8-10 cups snow
14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
optional: chocolate syrup, sprinkles

Directions

Place about 8 cups of snow in large bowl. My kids love gathering up some snow after playing outside in some fresh snow.  It is a nice treat after getting fresh air and exercise!

Snowshoeing

I usually scoop a few extra cups of snow and keep it on the side in case I need to add it to get the consistency I want.  It depends on the type of snow you have as far as the consistency you may get, so you can start with 6-8 cups of snow and add as desired.

Snow Ice Cream

Pour the can of condensed milk over the snow and add vanilla.

Mix thoroughly and serve immediately.

You can also mix in chocolate syrup to make chocolate flavor ice cream!

Enjoy!

    I’ve also made it using unsweetened almond/coconut milk or Half half and either Torani or Davinci sugar-free vanilla or other flavors of sugar-free syrup. That way it’s lower carb for me.

    Such a quick and easy to make sweet treat! Thank you for sharing the recipe. This will be our weekend activity with my grandson. Looking forward to the fun we’ll have making it and enjoying our “creation” after.

    I haven’t made this in so long. This takes me back to my childhood when we made it every winter.

    That is so fun! Or should I say snow fun! I’m in California, so I don’t have a ton of experience with snow play or snow days. But we keep saying we need to head up to the mountains to let the kids experience it. I am adding this to our snow play bucket list because my kids would adore it!

    I have a southern friend who calls this stuff Snowcream. It’s soooo good. She made a batch when we came up to visit in the winter, and I have never forgotten it.

    This looks really delicious! Kids would always go on ice cream. Though we really wish we have snow here in my country if I could have a chance to visit a state that has snow I definitely will do this.

    My daughter will love making this. She is obsessed with snow. We’ve done the boiled maple syrup on snow, which was messy and fun, but this sounds even better.

    *sad face* I live in South Carolina, we don’t get snow unless we’re really lucky! I’ve got my fingers crossed for some this year, I’ll keep this recipe in mind!

    Never tried making one! I really find it a cool idea to have something like this prepared for my little cousins. I guess I missed my childhood days because of this too.
