We've had a few pretty hot days round these parts. If your kids are anything like my little people they are always asking for something to help them cool off. A friend of mine mentioned to me recently that you can make ice cream in a bag. REALLY??!!
I do not ever remember hearing of such a thing, but indeed you can make ice cream in a bag!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine.)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full)
- 2 pint-size ziplock bag (I double bagged it after we had a leak the first time)
- 1 gallon-size ziplock bag
Directions
1. Combine the sugar, half and half, and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.
2. Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag. Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done.
3. Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag. Easy cleanup too!
