With just a few simple ingredients like freshly fallen snow, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk, you can stir up a batch of this delicious snow cream after a winter’s storm.
Mix the condensed milk and vanilla together. Set aside.
Gather fresh, clean snow in a large mixing bowl. You will need a lot as the snow will reduce by half when mixed with the milk. If unsure how much snow you’ll need, always start with less and add more. A best practice is to start with 6 cups and set aside the remaining snow in a separate bowl to pull from, use what is needed and discard the rest. The type of snow used will determine the final outcome (i.e. icy snow will be less creamy).
Mix by hand until well combined, it will take just a few minutes. Note that the final consistency should be soft like freshly churned ice cream. Icy snow will have a different texture, more like an ice milk.
Scoop and top with sprinkles, optional.
Notes
Make sure the snow is clean and freshly fallen. Do not use snow that has debris, rock salt, dirt, etc. When in doubt, don’t use it.
