Simple Snow Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
8 cups of fresh, clean snow
1 cup of milk (whole milk works best, but you can use any kind you like)
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or crushed cookies
Directions:
Gather fresh snow in a large bowl. Make sure the snow is clean and collected away from high-traffic areas or anything that might have contaminated it.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Gradually pour the milk mixture over the snow, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula. Keep mixing until the snow absorbs the liquid and the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
Serve immediately in bowls or cones. Add your favorite toppings for an extra burst of flavor.
This recipe is a great way to engage kids in the kitchen or to enjoy a nostalgic moment as you recall snow days from your own childhood. Snow cream is best enjoyed fresh, so don't wait too long to dig in!
As the snow continues to fall, take a moment to make memories with your loved ones—whether you're out in the elements or enjoying the warmth indoors. With activities like snow cream making, Clay County’s first snow of the season is bound to be a memorable one. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy this winter treat!
