Snow ice cream

So, snow ice cream exists—whether you want it to or not. And it’s ridiculously easy to make. First ingredient? Snow.

Before you cringe at the idea of chowing down on a bite of the Charles, hear us out: collect freshly fallen (“clean”) snow by setting out a bowl just as the flakes start to fall. Traditionally its made with a few drops of vanilla extract, an ample serving of white sugar, and enough dairy (half and half or milk) to give the snow a creamy consistency. A quick online search results in fans of the frosty treat and their own measurements for nostalgic bliss.
