Summer Splash - Make Your Own Ice Cream!

With all this summer fun, we could all use a cool, refreshing treat to finish off the day. What better treat for a hot day is there than ice cream? This isn’t just any ice cream treat that we want to share with you though. We want to teach you how you can make your own ice cream with just a few ingredients.

Here’s what you will need (Measurements make up 1 Bag):

300 ml Cream or Milk, 2 tbsp Sugar, 1 tbsp Vanilla , 2 Trays Ice Cubes, 6 tbsp Rock Salt, 1 Medium Ziploc Bag and 1 Large Ziploc Bag

Step 1. Start by putting the cream/ milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag. Mix them up and then seal the bag shut.

Step 2. Place the ice into the large Ziploc bag. Then you will want to pour the rock salt in on top of the ice.

Step 3. Place the small bag inside of the big bag and seal it shut.

Step 4. Shake until the mix becomes an ice cream consistency. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes. You may want to have a small towel or oven mitt handy to cover the bag with. It is a little bit chilly for little ones to hold.

Step 5. Now you can take the small bag out and clean off the rock salt from the outside. Once clean, grab yourself a spoon and enjoy!

 

Try cutting a corner out of the bag and squeezing the ice cream into cones! You may want to have some fun toppings available as well!
