This looks like “the bomb”.

What a cool foodie thing! I’ve never heard of it, but it seems amazing to me (and totally post-worthy.) I’m currently in the sunshine state, where there’s never any snow, but I’ll definitely make a note of it.

I really hope we get another layer of snow here in Illinois now. We never did this as kids because we lived in Arizona.

We did this too, but my mom’s culinary skills were limited. We actually just put maple syrup on the ice cream. Still delish though! I’ll have to try this… whenever the next time I’m in Canada in the winter, that is.

I don’t remember ever doing this, but I have heard about it before (never seen a recipe, though, thanks!) With the fresh snow, I’ll have to try this soon as I get back home this afternoon.

While I don’t have any cream, I do have some vanilla from Mexico (something like a quart, it’ll take us forever to use that much!)

Ah, see you now the true nature of Garden Gnomes. They’re tricksie.

I used to love snow cream. Thank you for the childhood memory.

I thought our family was the only one who did this! We totally made snow ice-cream growing up, and I agree, it is the bomb!
My Mom always adds a teesy-tinsy bit of salt, just so it isn’t too bland. When we were younger, we were allowed to pick a colour of food colouring to add to it. We enjoyed trying to come up with new creations of colours. You had to watch out for that green, though, it usually made anything previously cool look swampy.
