We have around 8 inches of fresh blizzard snow ...

So I am going to make Snow Cream for my Dad when he comes up in a few to watch the Detroit Red Wings play

Do you make snow cream when it snows ?

What recipe do you use ?

I am doing an egg free ~ Snow ~ vanilla and sweetened condensed milk

we go a little wacky here when it snows (and it did!) so we feel we must prove our superiority over Mother Nature and eat our way out of the snowdrifts.

a slushie is snow in a glass, with a sweet syrup poured over it.

Never heard of it.....sounds like something cool to make the kids. Do tell....

that's home made ice cream from snow.

Basic Recipe

1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
scant 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
large bowl of snow (about 3 quarts)

Blend milk, sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough snow to make snow cream to
an ice cream consistency.

Variations - There are many variations for snow cream. For example,
substitute canned cream for milk for a heavier flavor. Add Nestles Quik
for a chocolate snow
cream, or use instant cocoa mix. Another variation is to add plump
raisins and cinnamon, or add a beaten egg for a nog taste. Puree an
overripe banana and add to
the mixture. Get creative - you know your family's tastes.

Note: ALWAYS - ALWAYS make sure the snow is clean. It takes at least one
to two hours for snow to clean the pollutants from the air, then use
only snow that
has fallen after that first cleansing snow. It also goes without saying
(but I will anyway), to make sure you do not collect the snow where
animals and birds eat (or do
other things). Cleanliness first. Stress that with the kids, because
this is a treat even the younger ones can make for the whole family.

that's just words, I want PICTURES!!!

No, because the snow around these parts is already flavoured in flavours that are best left alone.

Yellow snow and black snow.
