Need A Way To Entertain Your Kids - Get Them Making Ice Cream In A Bag

By Mia Kane

I love to make Ice Cream. All sorts and every type of method. This method makes just one serving, but it's really great especially if you get kids involved. I have also done this at a dinner party, getting my guests all making their own serving. Very cool. (You don't know my friends). It's also great if you are babysitting some kids and don't know what to do with them. They really love this.

What you need for this.

1/2 cup milk .You can use cream but milk is fine here too, and keeps it that bit healthier, even better would be to use half fat milk.

Some sugar, about a tablespoon will do.

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder.

You will need quite a bit of ice. So you can make that in advance or pre buy it.

You will need either rock salt or table salt for this method. Either is fine, though I think rock salt may be cheaper to use.

2 plastic bags. I quart sized and 1 gallon sized. Remember you can improvise with this. It's just a rough guide.

Some great dancing music.

So now let the games begin.

Mix the milk, flavoring and sugar all together in a bowl. That was easy. Once mixed put in the smaller bag and seal tightly, so that it cannot escape.

Put the Ice (about 2 quarts) into the bigger bag with the salt. As a rough guide the big bag should be about half full with the ice and salt.

Ok so the technical bit. Take the little bag and fit it into the larger bag. Now here is where you need to be careful, remember both bags should be sealed really well as your ice cream is ruined if the mixture from the small get into the large ok?

And now the fun and magical bit. Put on that music, shake it on down, get that ice mixture moving around, shake it, massage it etc and in 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your dancing ability you will be rewarded with one serving of great ice cream. Hey presto! Enjoy. - 30289
