I’d never heard of snow ice cream, but over the past couple of days there have been several references to it on Twitter. So I hunted down some instructions on how to make ice cream from freshly fallen snow.
If you’re going to try this, be smart about it. No exhaust fume-tainted snow. No yellow snow. No snow scraped right off the ground that has dirt, grass and rocks in it. In fact, I’d use the tip from the video and place a bowl out before it starts snowing to specifically collect snow for your ice cream.
In this video, Tara Kellam, editor of Living on a Dime, demonstrates how to make homemade snow ice cream.

Apparently people were sent to the high hills and mountains to pick ice for the Roman emperors for just this very thing!.
Try making it with a can of coconut milk. add some chocolate syrup and a little vanilla. It is GREAT. tastes like a fudgecicle.
Can't wait to go enjoy some snow ice cream! Thanks for the tips!
When I was growing up in the late fifties/early sixties, there would occasionally be public warnings not to make snow ice cream because of the nuclear fallout from above ground atomic bomb testing!
Since I am a type 2 diabetic i will have to check the amount of carbohydrates in the sweetened condensed milk. Thanks, I live in Omaha, NE and we also have a lot of snow.
Can I use Splenda instead of regular sugar?
The best way to make it is with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Leave out the granulated sugar. All of the other steps are bang on. It is an awesome treat that so many have forgotten about.
