Xplor More: It's Time to Make Snow Ice Cream

Need a good way to refuel after a long day of playing in the snow? Make some snow cream. Just follow the recipe below to make this easy, yummy treat.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh, clean snow
• ¼ cup of cold milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Vanilla flavoring, chocolate syrup or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Gather 2 cups of fresh, clean snow in a cup. Newly fallen snow is best. Don’t pack it in as you would to make a snowball. Let it stay loose and fluffy.
2. Pour milk and sugar into the cup.
3. Add your choice of flavoring. For vanilla snow cream, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. For chocolate snow cream, add about 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup—more if you really like chocolate. A handful of mini chocolate chips is a yummy addition to either kind.
4. Mix well with a spoon. Don’t mix too much, though, or your snow cream will get watery. It should have the texture of a thick ice cream shake.
5. Enjoy!
