Late Night Ice Cream

Tonight, after our pizza dinner, my friend Cameron and I had a hankering for ice cream.  We opened the fridge and found the family favorite.  We opened, ready to scoop out some craving satisfying yumminess only to find an almost empty tub.

Cameron suggested we try a little experiment and make our own ice cream.  We looked up a recipe and went to work.  Here is what we did:

1.  First scoop 4-6 tablespoons of coarse salt into a gallon size ziplock.  Then, fill half the bag with crushed ice.

2.  In a separate quart-size bag add:  1/2 cup of milk, Tbsp of Sugar, tsp of vanilla. (If you want chocolate add 1 Tbs of cocoa powder: this might make your ice cream process a bit longer)

3.  The most fun part: Shake gently for 20-30 minutes.   We recommend playing "cold potato."  Be advised, this could get a bit messy and you might go through a few outer ziplock bags. 

Your ice cream, as ours should be firm and clumpy (that was the best adjective I could come up with)



Enjoy and Let us know how great your ice cream turns out!
