Snow Ice Cream



I made this with the kids this morning and they had a blast. I whipped up a couple of different recipes and found this one to be the best. It's on the sweet side..but it's really for the kids! If you are hesitant to use a recipe with raw eggs in it, just make sure to use fresh good eggs. Plus, if you are concerned about the raw eggs, this may not be the recipe for you...because don't forget that you are about to dig up snow from your backyard to make your ice cream! And hey who knows when we are going to get out again...so let's live on the wild side today!

Ingredients
Large Bowl of Clean Snow
2 Fresh Eggs
5 Ounces Evaporated Milk
1 1\2 Tablespoons of Vanilla
1 1\2 Cups of Sugar - ice cream is pretty sweet, may want to cut down on the sugar if you don't like things as sweet.
Dash of salt
1 cup of Milk (whole works best, Or a mixture of Milk\Cream\Half-and-Half)

In a large mixing bowl stir together eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, sugar, salt and milk until combined. Stir in snow in cup fulls at a time.
