What was supposed to be the first full week back from Christmas vacation turned into a week of snow and BELOW freezing temperatures. All over Facebook I was seeing friends talk about snow ice cream so I decided to finally give it a try with my kids. I was making Roasted Tomato Soup for dinner and still had 40 minutes before it would be ready so we had our dessert first.
Snow Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk or Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 6 cups Fresh Fluffy Snow
Instructions
-
Stir together your milk or cream with the sugar and vanilla. Start adding in the snow until you have an ice cream consistency.
I think this recipe would taste better with cream instead of milk. It was an overwhelming vanilla taste to it and I think the cream would have balanced it out a bit more. The kids absolutely loved it, though!

As long as the kids loved it!
I can’t see us ever making this, but I guess that’s the downfall to living in South Texas!
thank you for the party! no snow here in FL either 🙁 but i bet the ice cream’s wonderful!
Oh my goodness, how fun! We haven’t had any snowfall yet this season – I’m hoping it comes soon! I love fresh snow – it’s so pretty!
I am an embarrassed Canadian – I have never heard of this before. On our next good snow fall I will have to try it out.
This is a wonderful idea! Looks like tons of fun!
It’s been a few years since we made snow ice cream. I am not sure what recipe I used, I am seeing a lot of different ones out there. Hoping to get enough snow to make some this year.
I would love if you would stop by and share on my weekly recipe linky, Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen

I want to try this with my son! I think he would love helping me in the kitchen.
