Print Recipe

This creamy, sweet snow ice cream uses just three ingredients and is ready in 5 minutes. It’s a budget-friendly, kid-approved treat perfect for snow days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 cups fresh snow, lightly packed
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wait for at least 2-3 inches of fresh, fluffy snow accumulation.
  2. Take a large mixing bowl outside and gently scoop up the top layer of fresh snow, avoiding areas near roads, driveways, or trees. Fill the bowl with 8-10 cups of loosely packed snow.
  3. Bring the bowl inside quickly. If your kitchen is warm, place the bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes beforehand.
  4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the snow.
  5. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract over the top. Add any optional add-ins now.
  6. Gently fold the condensed milk into the snow using a rubber spatula or spoon, using a cutting motion through the center and folding the edges in. Fold until the mixture is uniform and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
  7. Check the consistency: it should look like soft-serve ice cream. If too thin, the snow was too wet; if too stiff, add a tablespoon more condensed milk.
  8. Serve immediately in bowls. For leftovers, transfer to a freezer-safe container, press plastic wrap against the surface, and freeze for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use fresh, fluffy snow from the current storm for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent melting. Serve immediately for optimal creaminess. For dairy-free, use coconut-based sweetened condensed milk.
