Ingredients
Scale
4 cups fresh, clean snow
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Gather four cups of fresh, clean snow. Discard any snow that is dirty or near roads. Place the snow in a large bowl.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract over the snow.
Use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together. Mix until the snow is fully incorporated and the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream. Do not overmix.
Serve the snow ice cream immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For a variation, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well before folding into the snow.
You can add mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles before serving.
Always use snow that has fallen recently and is far from traffic or pollution sources.
