Making Snow Cream (And Memories)

by Bailey Sons – January 27, 2016

Snow cream always brings back fond memories of childhood days gone by. 

Back in a time when there were a few flurries of snow to look forward to with no school, sledding with the kids in the neighborhood, and mom making that snow cream! It could always get us to come in from the cold. She always told us we had to wait for the second show because it was cleaner snow. The first gotten impurities out of the air, and the second didn't pick up any nasty stuff on the way down.

Here's the recipe as I remember it...

Place a large bowl outside, after it has snowed a little, to catch about a gallon of that pure white stuff.

Quickly bring it in and add 1 cup of sugar, one tablespoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups milk, and a well-beaten egg. (optional)

Scoop into bowls and enjoy because once the milk is in, it begins to melt.

Leftovers, if there are any, may be frozen and eaten later. It would be best to let it thaw a little when pulling it out of the freezer to get to that “stirring” consistency.

Warning: eating snow cream with all its yummy goodness too quickly may cause

“Brain freeze.”

Winter is a magical time when freshly fallen snow blankets the earth, creating a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. And what better way to celebrate the season's beauty than by indulging in snow cream's sweet, creamy goodness? This simple yet delightful dessert is made by carefully collecting snow that has just fallen from the sky and mixing it with a few simple ingredients to create a decadent treat that perfectly captures the essence of winter. Whether you prefer simple and classic snow cream or a unique twist, there are endless ways to enjoy this seasonal treat.

Classic Vanilla Snow Cream

The classic vanilla snow cream recipe is a timeless favorite for its simplicity and delightful flavor. Begin by collecting freshly fallen snow, ensuring it is clean and pristine. In a large mixing bowl, combine snow with care; I blend sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a touch of salt until they harmoniously transform into a luscious cream. Adjust the sweetness and vanilla flavor according to your preference. Serve immediately in bowls or cones garnished with a drizzle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate for an extra indulgence.

Snow Ice Cream - Must Have Mom

Indulge in the ultimate winter treat with a rich, creamy chocolate snow cream. To create this delightful dessert, gather freshly fallen snow in a large bowl, ensuring no leaves or debris are mixed in. Mix high-quality cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a splash of cold milk in a separate bowl until it forms a smooth and velvety chocolate sauce. Pour the chocolate sauce over the fluffy snow and gently fold until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Add more snow if needed to achieve the desired consistency, which should be light and fluffy. Serve this decadent chocolate snow cream in elegant dessert cups, topped with a generous whipped cream and a drizzle of luscious chocolate syrup for an extra dose of richness. Savor the fantastic blend of flavors and textures in every spoonful of this exquisite winter dessert.

Fruity Delight Snow Cream

If you want to indulge in a delicious and refreshing treat during the scorching summer months, why not try making fruity snow cream? With a vast mixture of fresh fruits available, you can choose your favorites, such as the juicy sweetness of strawberries, the plump and tart flavor of blackberries, or the mouthwatering sweetness of peaches. Take the time to carefully chop your chosen fruits into small, bite-sized pieces, removing any unwanted stems or pits. Once your fruits are ready, mix them into the snow cream for a delightful and refreshing dessert that will cool you down in no time.

Next, it's time to puree the fruits until they're smooth and velvety. You can use a blender to achieve this, adding a hint of honey or syrup to enhance the sweetness of the fruit. Once you've got your fruit puree ready, it's time to combine it with the freshly collected snow.

You'll want to use a large mixing bowl and gently fold the fruit puree into the snow until the two are well combined. The result will be a delightful, refreshing snow cream bursting with natural sweetness and vibrant hues.

Present your delicious snow cream in elegant bowls or glasses garnished with fresh and juicy fruit slices such as strawberries, kiwis, or peaches. To add a trace of culture, add a mint sprig to elevate the dessert's visual appeal. Not only will this make your dessert look more appetizing, but it will also provide a delightful burst of flavor and freshness that will impress your guests.

Flee to a tropical paradise and indulge your taste buds with a heavenly coconut snow cream that will leave you feeling like you're lounging on a beach surrounded by swaying palm trees. To create this delectable dessert, gather fresh, clean snow in a mixing bowl, ensuring it is light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine rich and creamy coconut milk, sweetened shredded coconut, and a hint of coconut extract to give it an extra flavor. Slowly pour this decadent mixture over the snow and gently fold until evenly distributed, forming a silky soft surface that will melt in your mouth. If desired, you can alter the sweetness according to your taste by adding a trace of powdered sugar. Serve this dreamy coconut snow cream in elegant shells or bowls, garnished with crunchy toasted coconut flakes and a sprinkle of tangy lime zest for a tropical flair to transport you to the paradise of your dreams.
