Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 small container (about 1 cup) whipping cream (35% fat) For a plant-based version, substitute with full-fat coconut milk, oat creamer, or cashew cream.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adjust to taste, feel free to experiment with flavored extracts like almond or mint.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Adjust to taste; can start with 1/4 cup for less sweetness.
  • a pinch salt Enhances sweetness; do not skip this!

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Find clean, fluffy snow on a fresh snow day.
  • Make a well in the snow using a bowl.
  • Pour a generous amount of salt into the well to stabilize the cream.
  • Place the bowl back into the well, ensuring it sits snugly on the salt.
  • Add the whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar into the bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly until it begins to solidify.
  • Enjoy the mixture once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, scooping it into bowls.

Notes

For a thicker texture, replace part of the cream with sweetened condensed milk. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 days.
