You won't need special equipment to make this kid-pleasing ice cream.
Remember making butter in Girl Scouts? Everyone passed around the jar of cream and gave it a good shake. After a few rounds, the cream had magically turned to butter. Here is a similar feat that not only yields dessert but exercise for the kids—ice cream in a bag. Here’s how it works.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup light cream (half and half)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Rock salt
Instructions
- Place sugar, cream and vanilla in a quart-size heavy zip-top plastic bag and seal.
- Place that bag in a gallon size heavy zip-top bag. Layer ice and rock salt in the gallon bag and seal.
- Toss the bag back and forth for approximately 10 minutes.
