The fresh snow is falling white and deep and and now the kids want a treat. Then make your own snow cream its as easy at it seems! Its fast and so very tasty too and the children will volunteer to make it instead of you. Here's how.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• snow
• vanilla extract
• milk
• sugar
• nuts, chocolate chips or other add ins if desired

1. 

   Bundle up and gather new pure white snow while its still falling or just after a recent snowfall.

2. Put about 8 cups of the snow into a large mixing bowl. Snow melts very fast so its best for you to do the mixing outside.

3. Add to the snow the following; 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract.

4. Mix until very smooth and then add your toppings if any is desired. Add more fresh snow if the snow cream is too thin. The mixture does not have to be perfect, its homeade!

5. 

   Enjoy your snow cream!

Tips & Warnings

• Mix with a wooden or a plastic spoon, the snow will stick to cold metal.
• Get fresh snow from a open area. Not from tops of picnic tables or under trees. Avoid the yellow version!
