Truth be told, there is nothing crazy about this post except how awesome it is.
Because this post is about ice cream. And lets be honest. There are few things in this world that compare to the awesome deliciousness of frozen dairy product.
Okay, so the other day I was doing some late night net browsing. I couldn't sleep (as usual) so I thought I'd stumble around summer like recipes. And I came across a gem of an idea on Family Fun's website.
It's a simple recipe with few ingredients, most already on hand! AND it's a recipe that even the kids can get in on.
So. All you need for this recipe is some half and half, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and ice. Oh, and freezer bags. One gallon and one pint sized.
Combine the half and half, sugar and vanilla in the smaller freezer bag, seal and shake to mix. Fill the larger freezer bag halfway with ice and add the salt.
Here's the fun part.
Pu the small bag into the bag of ice. Seal it and shake shake shake. After about 5 minutes of shaking, rinse the small bag off (quickly!) and see if it's "ice cream consistency."
If it's not, put it back in the ice and keep on shaking it.
If it is...
Well, then enjoy!
