Ingredients
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the Cream 🥛🔥
- Begin by pouring the half-and-half cream into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the cream to warm up. You don’t want it to boil, just get it nice and warm.
Step 2: Dissolve the Sugar 🍬
- Once the cream is warmed, gradually stir in the sugar.
- Keep stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. This might take a couple of minutes, but ensure there are no granules left undissolved.
Step 3: Add the Remaining Ingredients 🌟
- Now, it’s time to add the cornstarch and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Lastly, add the vanilla extract and give it one final stir.
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
- For the authentic snow ice cream experience, gather some freshly fallen snow (make sure it’s clean!). If real snow is unavailable, crushed ice will work too.
- Pour the prepared mixture over the snow or crushed ice and mix until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful winter treat that’s perfect for a snowy day with the family! ❄️🍦
Tips and Tricks 📝
- Variations: Feel free to add a splash of your favorite flavoring extracts or mix in some colorful sprinkles to make it extra fun for the kids!
- Storage: This ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the freezer. Just give it a good stir before serving again.
- Healthier Option: If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half-and-half with whole milk or a non-dairy alternative like almond milk.
