Snow Ice Cream
Well, winter is still at it. Even though I am O-V-E-R all of the cold and snow, this little one is still enjoying it to the fullest. Aaaannnd as much as I dislike going outside in this weather, she actually has a way of making me- dare I say? enjoy myself in it.
In unrelated news, I started my photography class this week. The above picture is one that I submitted for{part}of my homework. I’m learning about things like shutter speed, f stops, ISO, and other things that sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown.
I digress,
after playing in the snow for a bit, I decided to earn myself the title of coolest mama ever by bringing fresh snow inside to make some snow ice cream.
Not only that, but I let her eat it BEFORE her lunch.
See? totally cool.
 The recipe I used:
Snow
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
and a
pinch of salt
I had seen a few people add sprinkles into their snow ice cream on Pinterest, so I let Abigail choose some to add to ours.
She chose some Halloween sprinkles, lol. Black and orange, folks!
Which then promptly melted into the snow ice cream and turned it black.
Womp womp.
Anyway, the consistency was great, it actually tasted really good, and the best part was we got to do something really special and fun together.
Not a bad way to celebrate a snow day.
Fun! I need to give this a try with all of the snow we've been having….
You're totally a cool mom!!!
Yes! Do it! Mya baby would love it. Plus she could help 🙂
Love this, Courtney!!!! We also made snow ice cream & it was so fun!!!! Love your picture, as a teacher – I say you get an A+ on your homework! Thanks again for being a part of this!

Thanks, Ashley! We'll have to wait and see what my instructor has to say about it 😉
Thank you for hosting this link up with Jess! It's amazing.
snow ice cream? i'm TOTALLY trying this next time we go skiing. . . and halloween sprinkles. i love her.
I kind of hate you for having to wait to make this until you TRAVEL somewhere that has snow. Yep, totally jealous.
And, I know, right? Halloween sprinkles. Out of all of her choices, she goes for the orange and black sprinkles lol.
I have been wanting to make the snow ice cream, but I am going to make sure the snow is super clean! Maybe I'll put a bowl out or something when we get our next blizzard (Monday!). Too funny that the black sprinkles melted into it, lol! I bet it was still good!
That's what one of my friends on my FB page mentioned! She said she sets out a container and lets it fill up that way 🙂
I did not even know snow ice cream existed! I am totally going to try this! thanks for posting!!
You bet!
I had heard about it before, but I didn't realize it was actually a real thing. Ha! I was envisioning people eating plain snow like a sno cone or something. But no, it changes up the consistency a bit and is actually pretty tasty! Definitely give it a try!
Visiting from the link up. Cute post. I want to take a photography class soon. Excited to read about your experiences.
Thanks, Chrissy!
My husband signed me up for it as my Christmas present. I definitely needed to learn how to "properly" use my camera, but it is really overwhelming! A lot of new lingo and things to learn, but I'm really glad I'm finally doing it. Once it's over(at the end of the month) I'm sure I'll do a post about my experience!
The sprinkles were pretty fun, just be prepared to have multi-colored snow almost immediately 😉
Looks like we posted about the same thing-snow cream! Found you through the link up!
Awesome! And it looks like we used almost the exact same recipe. Good stuff! 🙂
I definitely need to give this a try next year when Scarlett is a bit older! Sounds like so much fun!
Yes! She will love it 🙂
If we ever get snow (and my act together) I am so making this!!
Do you guys get snow much in WA? In my brain it seems like you would….but maybe you don't 🙂
The nice thing about the recipe I used was they were all ingredients I already had lying around the house!
Love the snow ice cream recipe! We're supposed to be getting a big storm Wednesday night, so I might have to try it.Visiting from #SITSBlogging
Oh, definitely do! Set out a bowl or tupperware container to catch the fresh stuff! You'll love it. {I mean, as much as you can love a snowstorm. BLEH}
I wish we would get enough snow for snow cream! It's been cold and icy here, with just a little bit of snow 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up with us…you guys are the cutest!
