How do you make snow ice cream? (Serious)?!


Question: Mom used to make it when I was a kid...we're in columbus ohio and in a level 2 snow emergency and 18 inches of snow. Mom isn't answering her phone and I wanted to share a treat with my fiance.

I know it involved milk and vanilla but as far as measurements or other ingredients I don't know
Thanks!

INGREDIENTS
1 gallon snow
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk



DIRECTIONS
When it starts to snow, place a large, clean bowl outside to collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste, then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency. Serve at once.

ah! im in cincinnati! thanks for posting this question,,,,ill be watching for answers because i want to know myself!!! we have about 15 inches right now and the snow is still coming down hard!!!! hopefully it will stay this way so i dont have school monday! hope you get some good answers

back in the fifties when i was a kid my great grandma would make this on the weekends for the two dozen or so of us grand kids, she would take her roasting pan out in the yard and fill it up with clean fluffy snow, inside she would add just a little cream, i guess you could use milk, powdered or confectioners sugar and vanilla, she just added a little and tried it and would add more if it needed more, and then a few drops of food coloring to make it more fun, she called it poor man's ice cream, i remember it being really good, i haven't had it since then though.........have fun

I'm in Wheelersburg OH and we're getting slammed too but not to the extent you are!

My grandmother never measured you add sugar, vanilla and milk to your taste. You can't hardly mess it up, uh...unless you use yellow snow. lol

Yummy!

I live in Louisiana where there's no snow... I wonder if I can still make it with shaved ice... hmmm....

Sounds yummy!!!! I have a 2 year old niece & 6 year old nephew and they'd LOVE making this!

If it's snowing in your area, take advantage of all that white stuff with this recipe. It's a great way to get your toddler involved with nature and introduce him to cooking.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
Mix all ingredients together and eat!
Tips:
Experiment with other extracts like almond and mint. You can also try orange, lime or lemon extracts for a "sherbert" dessert.
To make ice cream even creamier add 1/2 of a mashed banana.
What You Need:
1 cup Half & Half
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of salt
5 cups of fresh, clean snow
