“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” With ice cream in a bag, each child gets to make their own serving of homemade ice cream. They can watch it freeze before their very own eyes! This is a hit for any age. If you haven’t done this before you are in for a treat, literally! Be sure to make one for yourself.
Ingredients:
- Salt (any kind of salt will work)
- Heavy cream
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
Instructions:
Variations
Consider flavoring your ice cream with your favorite ingredients! You can add them on top (like fruit and sprinkles) or you can add them in the bag (like chocolate chips)!
As you can see in the video, we have a special trick for making ice cream even easier. Traditionally, you’d place the ice and salt in a large gallon size bag. Then, you’d place the smaller bag filled with the ingredients inside the larger bag. Shaking a bag of ice for 10 minutes sure does make your hands cold! This trick for using a plastic food storage container with a lid to shake the ice cream in a bag keeps fingers from freezing:) SO simple and easy to do.
