Hey, if life dumps 10-inches of snow in your yard, make snow cream! The kids kept wanting to eat the light, fluffy snow today, and who could blame them? I promised them real snow cones tonight, so we did these beauties when we were done with all our snow adventures today!
I know many folks make this with cream (but I didn't have any) and most only use vanilla (but when I think of snow, I think peppermint). These turned out great — like the lightest, creamy vanilla ice cream ever with a kiss of cool peppermint. Heavenly.
Peppermint Vanilla Snow Cream
- Scoop up a big bowl of clean snow from your backyard, and bring it inside.
- Take the last cup of whole milk left in the container (or half-and-half or cream if you have it) and add a couple Tbs. of sugar, 1 tsp (or so) of real vanilla and 1/2 tsp of real peppermint extract. Put the lid on the half-gallon and shake it up!
- Scoop snow into dessert bowls and pour "cream" on top!
- Enjoy!! Delish! (Can also top with whipped cream and sprinkles or crushed candy canes for an over-the-top snow cream sundae!)

Oooh! This must be what my neighbors made for us when I was little! We'll have to try it with our next snow shower!
Actually, I should change "freshly fallen snow" to simply "clean snow". Really. I made more today. The kids are addicted...
