We hear some of you are getting a little bit of snow--okay A LOT of snow. If you don't know what to do with all that snow and you have one too many snowmen in your yard already, try making Snow Cream. What, you may ask, is Snow Cream? It is yummy ice cream with snow as one of your ingredients. This is a perfect family activity. Now you don't have to shovel your car out and risk a fender bender on your way to the store for your regular half gallon of ice cream. You can make it.
Laura, a talented Photojournalist, Multi-Media Producer and dear friend in Washington D.C. was kind enough to share a recipe for making Snow Cream.
You will need:
Snow
Vanilla
Milk
Sugar
Spoon and Plastic Bowl
Vanilla

Spoon and Plastic Bowl
This is an art-not a science so how much vanilla, milk and snow you need will depend on how big a batch you want to make. Taste as you go until you get the flavor you want.
Scoop your desired snow amount into your bowl and sprinkle with vanilla. Next add a splash of milk (Laura added vanilla soy milk here which added an extra vanilla kick to her batch). Now, scoop a couple of tablespoons of sugar into you mix. Laura added two tablespoons for this size bowl.
Mix and EAT. Snow Cream melts more quickly than traditional ice cream so you will want to eat it quickly.
