Snow Cream

Yesterday while perusing Facebook I saw that my friend Kelsi mentioned she’d just made some Snow Cream. Since I’m snowbound in my house and have approximately 800 three foot tall snowdrifts in my yard, I thought FREE SNOW!, then what the hell and asked for the recipe she used. I probably should have added a little more of that free snow in retrospect, but it turned out to be a nice little perk of not being able to leave the house.

Snow Cream

• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla (but you could really use any extract flavor)
• 4-5 cups fresh, clean snow

Mix together milk, sugar, and vanilla until dissolved. (I used a metal bowl to keep things extra chilly.) Then stir in snow and chow down immediately.

    I love snow cream! I swear, hardly anyone has heard of it, so whenever I mention it people look at me like I’m crazy. My mom always told me about it – growing up in South Carolina she and my Grandma always made a big deal about celebrating what little snow they accumulated 🙂

    I have never heard of this! For some reason though, the idea of eating snow weirds me out.

    Never tried this before tonight and I have to say…I’m trying it again tomorrow. 🙂 I can’t wait to experiment with different flavors! YUM! 🙂

    Thanks for posting this!

    I’ve since married and had three kids but I STILL come back to this recipe every year! This is the first year I actually made it with my kids and they chose lemon which was really good! I’ve also done raspberry chocolate chip, orange vanilla, mint…the possibilities are endless! ❤️

      That makes me so happy to hear! Since we’re in the middle of a snowstorm I should probably take advantage and make some myself today. 🙂
