This 5-minute snow ice cream recipe is a sweet, nostalgic winter treat made with fresh snow, milk, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Simple, fun, and totally customizable!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup milk (any kind works!)

1/3 cup granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch fine sea salt

8 cups fresh, clean snow or shaved ice

Optional toppings: sprinkles, chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, etc.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Scoop up your fresh snow (or prep your shaved ice) and stir it into the milk mixture.
  3. Mix until it’s light, fluffy, and scoopable. It should feel like soft-serve, not soup.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Use a chilled bowl to help keep your snow from melting too fast.
  • Taste and adjust—if your milk is sweetened, you might want less sugar.
  • Add toppings last so they don’t bleed into the snow.
  • Eat it fresh! This ain’t the kind of treat you freeze and save for later.
  • Wanna make a chocolate version? Stir a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder into the milk mix.
