This is for Yuji! :)
I had snow ice cream on my Winter Fun To Do List
and forgot to post about it! I'd never had it before
and was curious as to how it would turn out.
There are lots of recipes posted online and I picked
the easiest one.
You whisk sweetened condensed milk
into a bowl of clean, fresh snow. Add as much milk as
you need to get the right consistency.
My snow was the light, fluffy kind. 6 cups of snow
took about 1/3 can of the milk.
The taste was like vanilla ice cream.
The texture more like a snow cone.
I'd say this is certainly done for the novelty
of it and not the quality of the finished product.
But it was fun and I think kids would think it
was an awesome thing to do.
And it would make a very fun winter tradition!

Hi Betsy, You know I've never tasted snow cream. I love your photo.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours this weekend.
Thanks, Mildred. We're looking forward to a quiet weekend!
DeleteAh, I was intrigued about this, I thought you were going to use the snow to do the freezing! Completely wrong wasn't I.....!! Glad that you had fun with it. xx
ReplyDeletehaha...No! You eat the snow!
DeleteI remember you want make! look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really wasn't that delicious, but it was fun to make! Little kids would love it, I think!
DeleteYou may not have thought it was delicious little doll, but you sure made it look delicious! Did the boys enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteVince xo
None of the boys eat ice cream! Yeah, at least the photo looks yummy! haha.
DeleteI've never tried it but have seen lots of recipes as well. Sounds like a good project to do with Alaina next year!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea! She'd have so much fun!
DeleteLooks great to me!! Very 'entICEing!!' get it!! lol
ReplyDeleteI almost wish it would snow and then I'd definitely make some.
I'm sure it would BOWL you over. ha.
Deletelol
DeleteWhat about a spoon full of sugar or would that make it uggggh!
Now you're the one sounding like Mary Poppins! ha.
DeleteChim chiminey, chi chiminey, chim chim cheru!
DeleteOh It's a jolly holiday with Betsy!! LOL
In the most delightful way! ♪♪♪
DeleteI think your Snow Ice Cream is:
Deletesupercalifragilisticexpialidocious
haha...very good spelling there! I don't think I would have gotten it right!
DeleteI cheated! I copied off the internet!!
DeleteCan you say it? . . . . . . and can you say it backwards?
I can say it frontwards and backwards. :-)
DeleteHi Clever Clogs ROFL
DeleteWondered where you'd got to!!
I can say it only forwards - you see I'm only a man! ROFL
Thanks for the file.
you two do that part and I'll stick with Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay. ha.
DeleteI think Suza's gone to fly a kite !
DeleteShe might loose her clogs if it's windy!
DeleteShe's not saying and won't bite LOL
DeleteSee..she lost one already! Hope it doesn't fall on someone's head. lol...
DeleteAh I know where she is!!
DeleteShe's gone to feed the birds
I f I say she is lovely again that may bring her out into the open.
"Suza, you are lovely!"
Have you seen a photo? She is lovely!
DeleteNo, Betsy, I have not had the good fortune to see her photo. Originally I was referring to her very nice personality through our fairly infrequent blogging 'fellowship' but then you said you have met her and she IS lovely. Well I believe you!! and I must have had a degree in ESP!!, musn't I? Actually all your readers are very nice people - must be because of you attracting them. Now I have made two ladies blush! lol. Or maybe it's because they are just wanting a cup of coffee ROFL
DeleteYes, I do have the loveliest of readers! They do make blogging very fun! I'm off to make dinner now. The men are hungry! haha.
DeleteHi sweet Eddie and dear Betsy
DeleteI am flying a kite
Tugging with all my might
But my clogs keep me weighted
In case I’m elevated!
xoXOxo
Well hello - thought you'd show up eventually! lol
DeleteNice poem
At least you didn't use yellow snow! -- silver fox
ReplyDeletewell, no. I was very selective in the choice of snow. :)
DeleteI'm with you. Made this a few times when my kids were small - fun for them but nothing I couldn't live without. Glad you tried it so now you know what it's all about. Your picture is great!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sure little kids would love the whole idea and process. And it was fun. But to eat? Eh. lol....
Deletenice...we made it the last snow....we also mix in a bit of chocolate syrup....mmmm
ReplyDeletelooks like we will get another chance come tuesday....
Yep...more snow to come! I knew that would happen!
DeleteI made it as a kid, but never like it!
ReplyDeleteIt better if you think of it as an Icy. If isn't really the right consistency to call cream.
DeleteSounds good. Wonder if adding a touch of vanilla bean seeds would give you "Vanilla Bean Snow Cream". Did the boys try it?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can make it any flavor you wanted. I'm thinking a slushy..something fruity would have been better. No, the boys wouldn't have anything to do with it! ha.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous picture! love that plate, and it looks familiar somehow....
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks Maggie. It's English ...Crabtree & Evelyn.
DeleteNot only do you take tons of pics of it
ReplyDeleteAnd watch as the sky continues to spit
But now you go and eat the stuff
You need an intervention before you move to the arctic where it is rough
Well, I AM the snow queen!
DeleteDon't split your spleen.
hahaha.
Oh, your comment cracked me up. Yep, looking at it and playing in it wasn't enough...had to go and eat it, too. lol....
The picture looks so yummy..children will definitely love doing it..
ReplyDeleteYes! And it's so easy, they can make it themselves! Just stir and eat! ha.
DeleteI've always wanted to do this, Betsy!! Dare I say it might be too late?? Maybe when I have grandkids...I think my kids might go "Ugh"! It really is all about the fun!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Oh I hear you will have fresh snow next week just like us. ha. I don't think I will be making it again before grand kids either. :)
DeleteHmmmmm... wonder if the kitties would love to lick it? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, they would. They're always curious as to what we're eating! haha.
DeleteWonder what shape the snow ice cream crystals are?
ReplyDeleteThey are M's. For Mmmmmm! haha. Or do you guys over there say Nom Nom!?
DeleteNom Nom ROFL!!!!!!!
DeleteI think you are referring to our silly little phrase, Yum Yum!! . . . . equivalent to your Yummie
Yes I can see all the crystals will be shapes like the letter M . . . . . . hmmmm!
Hey wait a minute! I've just looked up Nom Nom and you are right. It is a 21st century version of Yum Yum. Obviously I've been living in the dark ages. Well we all learn something new every day at Betsy's joint!! lol
We don't say Nom at all, but I have seen that around and thought it was British..or maybe European, at least. We just say Yum! Direct and to the point. haha.
DeleteWe say it in Canada - more a "younger" crowd that does. But I like it.
DeleteYes I think the youngsters would use it more!
DeleteStrange I had not heard of it though.
A 'tradition' would imply that there was tons of snow EVERY winter--which I hope doesn't happen :-)
ReplyDeleteby tradition, I just meant that you make it when it snows. Could be once every 3 years, but when it happens, you make it. Would be fun for kids, especially.
DeleteOh, OK. That makes me feel better....
DeleteI love sweetened condensed milk, Betsy. You can count me in.
ReplyDeleteOne blue guy? Check. haha.
DeleteMy grandpa use to make it for us and I did my kids. Haven't had it in a few years. This I kept saying we would but didn't. Had 3 snows over 12" each time and several others. Grandpa would add alittle vanilla. Glad you tried it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betsy! It certainly looks delicious. I am hoping that I will not have a chance to make it until next winter (i.e. no more snow, please), but I'll have to keep in mind to try with my son. He would certainly think it is fun.
