When the snow flies ... Make Snow Cream!

In our house we no longer keep a lot of ice cream on hand (we used to but that is another story) so when I saw a recipe for snow cream the other day over on babble, via craft Gossip while big fluffy flakes were falling I sent my husband out to pick up some whipping cream so that we could give it a try.

In our house mint chocolate chip is our favourite so this is the flavour we made

adding 1/4 Cup of whipping cream and 1/8 th Cup of sugar to 4 cups of fresh snow (taken from our picnic table no footprints or animal prints anywhere near it!)

Giving it a good stir

The final product with added mint extract and mini chocolate chips.

Recipe Recap

4 Cups of fresh snow
1/4 Cup of whipping cream
1/8 Cup of sugar
flavouring or additions to taste
