This is a really cool thing to do, and my children love it. Actually so do my friends, it's great fun at a dinner party, or barbecue too. But I know no better way on a rainy day, when baby sitting some children to get them entertained, involved and quite! This method makes just one serving.

This is a really cool thing to do, and my children love it. Actually so do my friends, it's great fun at a dinner party, or barbecue too. But I know no better way on a rainy day, when baby sitting some children to get them entertained, involved and quite! This method makes just one serving.
Ingredients that you will need.
Milk about half a cup, cream is ok too, but I prefer to use milk, keeps it healthier.
About a tablespoon of sugar.
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder.
Ice. Fill up your ice trays the day before, or if you forget, just nip out and buy some, it's cheap.
You will need either rock salt or table salt for this method. Either is fine, though I think rock salt may be cheaper to use.
You also need two plastic bags. 1 Small and 1 Large. The small one should be quart sized and the large one gallon sized.
Some good get on down music that you can dance to or that your kids love.
Ok You're good to go now.
Mix the milk, flavoring and sugar all together in a bowl. That was easy. Once mixed put in the smaller bag and seal tightly, so that it cannot escape.
Put the Ice (about 2 quarts) into the bigger bag with the salt. As a rough guide the big bag should be about half full with the ice and salt.
Put the small bag into the big bag. Important: Make sure the two bags are sealed really well. Use tape if you need to. The ingredients of both bags must not mix or meet.
Now put on some great music and shake those bags, shake them and agitate them and massage them, (be careful not to split them). You can do this for between 10 - 15 minutes. In this time your mixture will have turned into solid ice cream. Magic! Now eat and enjoy!
One way links:
This method is great for kids and parties. However if you want to make larger quantities, and make it more often I would use an electric ice cream maker. You can check them out here first. I can use this site and recommend it. BestElectricIceCreamMakers |
