Plastic Bag Ice Cream
List of Ingredients
Yes, it sounds dangerous and the potential for
messes seems highly likely, but you'll be
surprised at the good, "clean" fun you'll enjoy
when you make ice cream. This recipe is enough
for one person to make a dish!
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. sugar
4 cups crushed ice
4 tbsp. salt
2 quart size Zip-loc bags
1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag
a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from
freezing as well!
Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one
of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing
as little air to remain in the bag as possible.
Too much air left inside may force the bag open
during shaking.
Place this bag inside the other quart size bag,
again leaving as little air inside as possible and
sealing well. (By double bagging, the risk of salt
and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized.)
Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill
the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top.
Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap
the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake
and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds
the cream mixture.
Five to eight minutes is adequate for the mixture to
freeze into ice cream.
Tips:
Freezer bags work best because they are thicker
and less likely to develop small holes, allowing
the bags to leak. You can get away with using
regular Zip-loc bags for the smaller quart sizes,
because you are double bagging. Especially if you
plan to do this indoors, we strongly recommend
using gallon size (thick) freezer bags.
