How To Make Ice Cream In a Bag

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 cup of milk (we used 1% and it came out just fine)
• 1/2 tsp of vanilla
• 6 tablespoons of  coarse salt (think rock salt)
• 2 large gallon sized ziploc bags
• ice

Directions:

• Fill up one bag halfway full of ice and add the salt.
• In the other bag, add the sugar, milk and vanilla.  Make sure it’s sealed tight.
• Place the milk mixture bag in the ice bag. Seal it and then shake it for about 6 – 7 minutes (until creamy).

You’ll want to enjoy this quickly or you can freeze it for later! We were thinking if you wanted to make this a little more fun, you could add a drop or two of food coloring. Kids can watch it morph into ice cream and watch the colors change!

If you are having a Summer party, this would be a fun activity for the kids!
