How To Make Snow Cream + 5 Different Flavors Of Snow Ice Cream

Got a snow day, Use these flavor ideas and steps for how to make Snow Cream to add a creamy and delicious snow treat to your snowy day plans! I played in the snow today! But my kind of playing in the snow is probably a little different than you're thinking. I didn't make snow angels. Or go sledding. Or build a snowman. Or even have a snowball fight with the neighborhood kids. Fluffy, unpacked snow works best. Just scoop the snow up with a big bowl. Don't pack the snow into the bowl, as this will make your snow cream less creamy. You know, when you turn snow and a couple of other simple ingredients into a made-from-snow-ice-cream-treat, And I played today by whipping up five different flavors of snow cream. Oohhhhhhhh, they were all so good!

I just knew playing around with how to make snow cream was in my plans for the day. And I think the neighbors I made snow cream deliveries to were glad, too! So what flavors did I make, you ask, I'm torn on which was my favorite, because I liked them all. But if push came to shove, I think I would have to go with strawberry. It got rave reviews from the neighbors, too! Though chocolate did get a very enthusiastic "This chocolate is the bomb!" from one of our sweet neighbor boys. When I know a snowstorm is coming, I place a large bowl or two out on the deck before the storm starts. When making the creamy snow deliciousness, keep a few tips in mind for the best result. First, fluffy, unpacked snow works best. Just scoop the snow up with a big bowl.

Don't pack the snow into the bowl, as this will make your snow cream less creamy. Next, you may want to go ahead and plan ahead. When I know a snowstorm is coming, I place a large bowl or two out on the deck before the storm starts. Finally, it's my experience that snow cream doesn't "hold" well in the freezer. Outside works much better than our inside freezers for "keeping" the snow cream. Also keep in mind, any of these snow cream recipes can easily be halved or doubled, depending on how much you want to make. It's so good though, you may just want to go ahead and plan on that double batch. Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, bloglovin', or subscribe by Email. We'd love to have you back soon! Add snow, 1 cup at a time, stirring and mashing with a spoon until incorporated; continue adding snow until an ice cream-like texture is reached.

Or enjoy it anytime of the day. You can drizzle any fruit sauce or chocolate sauce, butterscotch sauce or magic hard shell on top. Vanilla ice cream can be used in making falooda or milkshake like vanilla milkshake, cashew-fig milkshake. Have a scoop of it with warm brownie or pie. I recommend to use whole milk or full fat milk. I have tried with 2% milk and it gave me good results but still I prefer the one made from full fat milk. Cornstarch slurry will help to thicken the milk faster. Here I have used full fat milk powder. This makes the ice cream more creamier. You can use non fat milk powder too.

Here I have used vanilla paste which gave me more intense vanilla flavor. Yes you can use PURE vanilla extract instead. I said ‘pure’ not imitation one which may leave the bitter aftertaste. If you can use vanilla bean, then it is best (instructions included above). Take cornstarch in a small bowl. Make smooth paste by adding 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Take milk powder in another small bowl. Add about 1/3 cup of milk and make smooth paste. Take remaining milk in a wide and thick bottom pan. Turn the heat on medium. Bring the milk to a boil. Once it starts simmering, add sugar and mix well. Let it simmer till it thickens slightly (for about 10-12 minutes).
