Memories

The other day my children and I were talking about how cold it has recently gotten. That reminded me of how my mother would make snow ice cream when we lived in Tuscaloosa, Al when I was little, before she died. My kids wanted me to make some for them, but I didn't know if it was real or it was just something creative my mother came up with to entertain us kids. She did that a lot. She was very creative, and made lots of wonderful memories for my brother and I before she died of a brain tumor when we were young.
Ironically, I was reading a magazine a day or two ago and viola, there it was, in black and white, a recipe for snow ice cream!! So I wanted to share it with everyone else. I have not tried it, but this is the first time I have ever come across an actual snow ice cream recipe. Here it is. Let me know how it turns out if anyone tries it.
-1 cup of milk or cream
-3 Tbsp. sugar
-2 Tbsp. mini chocolate chips
-almond flavoring
-Snow
-1/4 salt
1. Mix milk, sugar, shocaolate chips and a few drops of almond flavoring in a small ziplock bag, seal bag.
2. Fill a gallen-size zip lock bag halfway with clean snow and add salt. Put smaller bag inside bigger bag; seal bigger bag, squeezing out air. Knead bags until milk mixture soidifies, 5 to 10 minutes. Open bigger bag and remove smaller bag. Rinse outside of smaller bag in cold water before opening. Squeeze ice cream into a bowl and serve.
