Print Recipe

This incredibly creamy snow ice cream uses just three ingredients and comes together in under five minutes. It’s the perfect winter treat for snow days, with a silky texture that beats any complicated custard version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups fresh snow, packed
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Collect the snow: Wait for a fresh snowfall and gently scoop up the top layer of clean, fluffy snow into a large mixing bowl. You need about 8 cups, packed lightly.
  2. Bring it inside quickly: Have your other ingredients ready before bringing the snow in to prevent melting.
  3. Add the sweetened condensed milk: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the snow.
  4. Add vanilla and salt: Drizzle in the vanilla extract and add a tiny pinch of salt if using.
  5. Stir gently but thoroughly: Use a wooden spoon or spatula to fold the condensed milk into the snow with slow, gentle motions until the mixture is uniform in color and has a soft-serve consistency. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Check the texture: If too runny, add a handful more snow and fold. If too thick, let sit for a minute to soften.
  7. Serve immediately or freeze: Enjoy right away for the best texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Use the coldest, freshest snow possible for best texture. Work quickly to prevent melting. Do not overmix. For variations, try adding cocoa powder, peppermint extract, or berries. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 hours; after that, texture becomes icy.
