Ice Cream In a Bag
Recipe sent in by: D. Archer
Super fast & easy, great for the kids!
- 1/2 c Milk
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Tbs Sugar ( to taste )
- 6 Tbs Salt
- Ice
- Gallon sized freezer bag
- Quart sized freezer bag
1) In the quart sized freezer bag, fill with milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Seal bag well.
2) In the gallon sized bag, add the ice and salt.
3) Place small bag into the larger bag and seal well.
4) Shake the bag for about 10 minutes. This is where having the kids play with their food is actually ok! The bag does get cold though so you may consider using a towel.
NOTE:
Do NOT double this recipe, it doesn't work too well. Just make separate servings. Each one makes about 1 scoop worth of ice cream.

This is fun to do, takes very little. BUT it does take arm power. Tossing the bag back and forth is a good way to make it easier and make the time pass quicker. It makes a sort of soft ice cream, but it is tasty.
Additionally, you can substitute cocoa powder for vanilla if you want a chocolate version. You could also add flavored extracts or syrups for different varieties. Lemon would work nicely for a refreshing version.
