I is for Ice Cream

I started writing my post about our turkeys we made and realized I never did our ice cream post.  Along with our igloos, we also talked about ice and ice cream.  So, we made ice cream for one of our project......I do have an ice cream maker, but thought it would be fun to make ice cream in a bag and then anyone can make it at home.  It's really simple.
 
Mix in a Ziploc bag (either double bag or use freezer bags) 1 cup half & half, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.  Then put that bag in a gallon Ziploc bag that is filled half-way with ice and 1/2 cup salt.  Seal it up, and then shake the bag (double bag if necessary).  The longer you shake it, the better consistency your ice cream will be.  It will take at least 10-15 minutes.





We made 2 batches.  The bags were starting to get cold, so we ended up wrapping a towel around them as they were shaking them.

We added sprinkles and chocolate chips......yummy!!!! 





They thought it was delicious and was fun and quick for them to make.
