Need A Way To Entertain Your Kids – Get Them Making Ice Cream In A Bag
By Mia Kane | August 20, 2009
This is a really cool thing to do, and my children love it. Actually so do my friends, it’s great fun at a dinner party, or barbecue too. But I know no better way on a rainy day, when baby sitting some children to get them entertained, involved and quite! This method makes just one serving.
What you need for this.
You will need about a half cup of milk. Some people use cream, that’s ok too. But this tastes just fine with milk. You can even go half and half if you want.
1 tablespoon of sugar.
Vanilla flavoring or extract, (1/4 teaspoon) some cocoa powder, or some chocolate syrup. It’s up to you which flavoring you want.
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.
You also need two plastic bags. 1 Small and 1 Large. The small one should be quart sized and the large one gallon sized.
Music that you can shake and move your butt to. Or just your kids favorite music.
Ok now your ready to make your ice cream.
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.
Take your ice out of the freezer, you will probably need about 2 quarts, and place in the bigger bag with the salt. The ice and salt should fill about half of the big bag.
Put the small bag into the big bag. Important: Make sure the two bags are sealed really well. Use tape if you need to. The ingredients of both bags must not mix or meet.
Now put on some great music and shake those bags, shake them and agitate them and massage them, (be careful not to split them). You can do this for between 10 – 15 minutes. In this time your mixture will have turned into solid ice cream. Magic! Now eat and enjoy!
