Well it has been awhile!!!

I have been SO busy but I decided to start back off on the right foot with the wonderful Works-for-Me Wednesday hosted by RocksInMyDryer.typepad.com!

SO my WFMW is kind of a recipe. I just learned it and have already used it. If you are like me occasionally you run out of snacks or the kiddos (Or you!) just want something to snack on. For a super quick yummy treat that the can help make try this:

5 Minute Homemade Ice Cream - 1 Serving

  1. 1 Quart Size ziploc bag.
  2. 1 Gallon Size ziploc bag.
  3. 1 cup milk
  4. 1 tsp. vanilla
  5. 2 tablespoons sugar
  6. 12 ice cubes
  7. 3 tbsp of salt
  • Put the milk, vanilla and sugar in the quart size bag - press the air out and seal bag.
  • Place the ice cubes, salt and then the quart size bag (with the milk "mixture" that is sealed really tight, right?!) inside the gallon bag.
  • Seal the gallon bag.
  • For the next several minutes - possibly up to five. Let the kids twist, roll, flip and turn this bag.
  • The ice/salt in the gallon size bag helps freeze the "milk mixture" in the quart size bag into a yummy treat!!
  • Once the mixture looks to be the consistancy of homemade ice cream you take the quart size bag out and rinse the outside of it. (To get the salt off!)
  • Then pour in a bowl or eat directly out of the bag - Enjoy!

I've been thinking of buying one of those ice cream making balls (similar idea, but in a plastic ball that you have to buy) but this sounds like a much cheaper and innovative way to do it. We'll be having homemade ice cream this weekend. By the way I'm gonna call this weekend. Be prepared to talk about Disney!! Love ya!

I can't wait to try this! Did you use skim, 2% or whole milk? Thanks for the recipe!

I use whole milk but I don't know what would keep 2% from not working so go for it! Also make sure you have plenty of ice! I think I said 12 but I guess it depends on the size of the cubes. I would just add a good bit and then make sure you double up your salt also! Thaks!

Tiff-- we made the ice cream! I hope it's okay that I linked to your post to tell eveyone about it. We had friends over with young kids and they had fun making their own ice cream and then eating it. Yummy!
