When I was growing up we made this every time after it snowed. I loved it so much my grandma, and aunts would all make it for me too. So that I'd have it when I came to their house for a visit. It's sooo yummy! I couldn't believe Aaron had never had it before and he grew up in Michigan, where it snows all the time! Maybe it's just a southern thing?
Snow Cream
A lot of fresh snow. Probably a gallon's worth
Evaporated milk (Maybe a cup per gallon)
Sugar (1/2 cup per gallon, or to taste)
Vanilla- tablespoon or two per gallon
Make sure you get clean snow. It's best to scoop it off the top of the pile after it has very recently snowed. Nobody wants dirt in their tasty snow cream. Ewww...
Next fold sugar and vanilla into the snow. Then add the cream a little at a time until you reach the right consistency. It should be a little thinner than ice cream, but not too watery.
Be careful with how warm your cream is also. I always like to refrigerate mine before making snow cream, that way it won't melt too much.
It's something fun to do with the kids, and if you want something a little more interesting you could add a couple of drops of food coloring to it.
