snow cream recipe
The magic of snow cream lies in its simplicity! You only need a few ingredients to transform fresh snow into a delicious frozen treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/3 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt
- 8 cups Clean Snow or Shaved Ice
- Sprinkles (Optional Topping)
Instructions
- Gather Fresh Snow – Start by collecting 8 cups of clean, fluffy snow in a large bowl. Avoid the top layer and scoop from a fresh patch to ensure cleanliness.
- Mix the Base – In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined. The sugar should dissolve completely.
- Add Snow Gradually – Slowly pour the liquid mixture over the snow, stirring gently with a spoon. Add more snow until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
- Adjust and Taste – If it’s too soft, add more snow. If it’s too thick, drizzle in a little more milk. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Serve Immediately – Scoop into bowls, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy right away before it melts!
Notes
Make your snow cream recipe even better with these simple tricks:
- Use Fresh Snow – Always collect fresh, clean snow. Avoid areas close to roads or rooftops.
- Chill Your Bowl – Place the mixing bowl in the freezer beforehand to keep the snow from melting too quickly.
- Try Different Milks – Experiment with coconut, almond, or condensed milk for unique flavors and textures.
- Add a Flavor Boost – Stir in cocoa powder, maple syrup, or fruit puree for a fun variation.
- Make It Ahead – If storing in the freezer, let it thaw for a minute and re-stir before serving.
