Ziploc ice cream

in: Food & Mealtime

After you’ve finished your brunch of Ziploc Omelets, perhaps you’d care for a bit of dessert: Ziploc ice cream! (Thanks for the recipe, Jill.)

ZIPLOC ICE CREAM

Fill a pint Ziploc bag with 1/2 cup milk (I suggest whole milk), 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.  Place sealed pint bag into gallon bag and add ice to fill the gallon bag halfway and 6 Tablespoons salt.  Zip (and maybe double bag it), then shake, toss and play catch for 5 to 10 minutes.  Kids might want mittens!

    Make sure to rinse the bags really well before opening to eat the ice cream. The salt can hide in the little ridges of the opening and can easily ruin the tast of the icecream. Well rinsed, this is a really fun thing to do.

    Sounds fun to try! A thought about the salt getting in…tape the top of the inside bag?
