Cooking with Kids
"Ice Cream in a
Baggie"
submitted by Laura Mills
Looking for something new to entertain the kids during the dog days of
summer? Here is a great recipe that can be made outdoors to minimize on
the muss and fuss and will also let the kids help out in the process.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup half and half
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 sandwich size Ziploc bags
1 one gallon size Ziploc bag
2 cups ice
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Put one small Ziploc bag inside the other and add the milk, half and half,
sugar, and vanilla extract to the inside bag. Seal both bags securely,
removing excess air. Add ice and salt to larger bag and place smaller bag
inside. Seal firmly. Let the kids shake themselves silly -- shaking,
tossing, and turning the bag. Ice cream will be soft and ready to eat in 5
to 10 minutes. Enjoy!
