Snow Ice Cream.... nostalgic !!


Does anyone make this anymore?? We used to all the time as kids.... I have some pretty fond memories of the stuff!! We'd mix a bunch of fresh snow- NO YELLOW PLEASE- with 1 can sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. We'd use a pretty big mixing bowl so I'd say about 8-10 cups of snow maybe?? Just keep adding it till it looks right. Then eat! Now a days I 'm sure that someone will tell me this is the WORST possible idea in the world and not healthy at all- I mean think of all the pollution....yada yada yada.... evil fun crushers!!! Is it really any worse than the chemical laden stuff from the store...that we pay good money for??? (I honestly can't say for sure..... SO *disclaimer*...EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) You can also use milk or cream and sugar... I bet you could also add in a pack of unsweetened coolaid to flavor it up and add color (I'll share a quick sherbert recipe soon that uses a packet of coolaid-YUM!)...Now we just need some fresh new snow instead of all this misty rain stuff we've been getting recently.
