Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 small container whipping cream 35%
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla adjust to taste
  • ½ cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Make an indent in the snow with your bowl.
    A hand holds a metal bowl partially embedded in snow, with a reflection of a person and buildings on its shiny surface. The scene is bright, set against a soft white snowy background—perfect for making viral snow ice cream.
  • Add a lot of salt to the bottom of the well. Add the bowl back in.
  • Now add the rest of the ingredients.
    A stream of cream is being poured into a metal bowl placed on snow, with the cream beginning to pool in the center—perfect for making Viral Snow Ice Cream.
  • Lastly, mix until it has solidified and enjoy!

Notes

  • Plant-based milks: Use full-fat coconut milk, oat creamer, or cashew cream for a plant-based 🌱 version.
  • Texture boost: Swap part of the cream (to taste) with sweetened condensed milk for a thicker, silkier texture.
  • Sweeteners: Instead of sugar, use sweeteners such as honey 🍯 or maple syrup. 
  • Mix ins: Once your soft serve ice cream is firm, stir in candies, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fruit for extra flavor and texture. 
  • Flavored extracts: Instead of vanilla extract, feel free to switch up the flavors with almond, lemon 🍋, or banana extracts. 
  • Tip: Start with a cold bowl and cold cream to help everything freeze faster. I like to stick my mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes ahead of time.
