Equipment

  • A large bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • 8 cups freshly fallen clean snow or fluffy shaved ice
  • 1/3 cup fine white sugar or cane sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • A pinch of fine sea salt or Himalayan pink salt

Optional toppings:

  • Colorful sprinkles mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut can make your creation even more exciting.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Snow

  • Make sure you’re collecting fluffy, clean snow. Avoid yellow snow—just trust me on this one! Grab a large bowl or a container and pack about eight cups of snow. Aim for freshly fallen snow; it’s the fluffiest and will give you the best texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Mixing Bowl

  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, sweetened condensed milk (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir everything to create a smooth mixture. If you’re feeling adventurous, add the almond extract for a twist.

Step 3: Combine with Snow

  • Now, pour this mixture over your bowl of snow. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture into the snow. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain some of that fluffy texture.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

  • Here’s where you can show off your creativity. Taste your snow ice cream and adjust the flavor. If it’s too sweet, you can add a bit of snow. Want more depth? A dash more vanilla or almond extract can do wonders.

Step 5: Serve

  • Scoop the snow ice cream into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut can turn this simple treat into a fantastic dessert that will impress everyone.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Snow: Fresh, cold, fluffy snow is the best. Pack it down lightly to ensure a proper texture.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too runny, add more snow. If it’s too thick, incorporate a bit of milk or cream to loosen it up.
  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with flavors like peppermint or chocolate by using flavored extracts or cocoa powder.
  • Work Quickly: Snow melts, so it’s best to assemble your ice cream quickly for the best texture.
  • Keep It Cold: If you make a large batch, place it in the freezer briefly to keep it from melting while you serve.
