How to Make SNOW Ice Cream

January 8, 2014 by Chris

When you live in Michigan, and your winter (technically 2 1/2 weeks of it) has brought a total of 53 inches of snow, you start trying to figure out just how to embrace it all. And by embrace it, I mean eat your way out of it. Seriously. I present you with SNOW ice cream.

There are several variations of this recipe on the web, but I pulled together some items I already had on hand.

Snow ice cream

SNOW Ice Cream Recipe

  • About 8 cups of (clean) snow
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (to make it a little creamier, I poured some more in until I liked the texture)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 tsp cocoa (I like it pretty chocolatey–you could add less)

Chocolate snow

I dumped the snow into a bowl, added the ingredients, and mixed it up with a whisk and spoon.

And then I went a little crazy and added 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter. The clouds parted and angels sang. THAT. GOOD.

A word of caution–for as easy as this recipe is, it sure does melt quickly. It is snow, after all. If it got a little too soupy, I just threw some more snow in there to thicken it up. You could always put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes, but if you live in the frozen tundra, just put it on the back deck. Save the room in your freezer. 🙂

    Thanks for the memories Chris. We made snow ice cream when I was growing up. But in South Arkansas that didn’t happen very often!!

    Oh, wow! I have made Snow Ice Cream before but never with chocolate and peanut butter! I imagine the angels DID sing! Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for resurrecting the wonderful childhood memory of snow ice cream. Vanilla, sugar, and milk and all the paltry amounts of snow we could scrape off of cars with our rare and sparse dusting of snow here in East Texas – those were the ingredients for heaven on earth back then. Much simpler times – in the days of penny candy, hot cocoa and popcorn both made on the stove. Yes, we got snow days, even if it was a quarter inch snowfall – even the adults were spellbound. Love your blog!!

    We made this the other day but ours was plain vanilla. You have inspired us to get creative with flavors. Living in the Midwest I am sure we will get many other chances this winter to experiment.

    I grew up in Lansing, Michigan, and it was common knowledge that if you lived within 150 miles of DOW Chemical you didn’t eat the snow.
