Snow cream is my favorite thing about winter weather. It’s so nostalgic. As a kid I remember setting out all the big bowls and baking dishes on the porch to catch the big white flakes that were falling.
While our first winter storm this year brought more ice than snow to our area, I know (pray) the fluffy white stuff is coming, because in my mind there really isn’t any point in these cold cold temps if we don’t get snow to make it all pretty.
There are lots of recipes you can find on the web but I prefer just to use these simple ingredients.
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
6 cups of snow
Combine your inside ingredients together. This gives the sugar a chance to dissolve some in the milk.
Take everything outside including your bowl you plan to mix in. Scoop in 3 cups of snow. I don’t really measure. I use a big mixing spoon and just say that’s a cup.
Pour the milk mixture on top. You kind of need to work fast or it will start to melt the snow.
Scoop up 3 more spoonfuls and start stirring.
When you come in you have to act fast or the heat from you cozy house will start to melt the snow cream.
Make sure you put any extra in the freezer. But really there never are 
WARNING: Do not eat this fast or you will be suffering from the worse case of brain freeze you.ve ever had. Keep cups of cocoa and coffee on hand.
