When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When Mother Nature dumps snow on you, make snow ice cream.

The Midwest got walloped with another polar vortex this week...more frigid temps and more snow. So many people complain about the snow and the cold, but you know what, it’s winter in Ohio, folks. This is what happens.
This is a sweet reward for shoveling the driveway for the umpteenth time. And yes, I will look out for the yellow snow! Beware of brain freeze, too.
Milk + sugar + vanilla + pinch of salt = yumminess |
Snow in my grandma's measuring cup. She would be smiling! |
Snow ice cream! |
Topping of choice: maple syrup |
Snow Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup milk (any kind)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
8 cups clean snow or shaved ice (more or less depending on the density of the snow)
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk milk, sugar, vanilla and salt together until combined.
Go scoop up some fresh (clean!) snow, and immediately stir it into the milk mixture until you reach your desired consistency. Top with sprinkles or other ice cream toppings if desired.
The ice cream should be fluffy and not runny, but it melts quickly, so dive in right away!
