This 5-minute snow ice cream recipe is a sweet, nostalgic winter treat made with fresh snow, milk, sugar, and vanilla — easy, quick, and perfect for snow days!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)

1/3 cup granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch fine sea salt

About 8 cups of fresh, clean snow (or shaved ice)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Head outside and scoop up that fresh, fluffy snow — around 8 cups’ worth. (Or prep your shaved ice indoors.)
  3. Gradually stir the snow into the milk mixture, folding gently until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like sprinkles, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of condensed milk.

Notes

  • Freeze the snow while you prep to prevent it from melting too fast.
  • Adjust the sugar depending on your milk choice — sweetened milk may need less sugar.
  • Best enjoyed right after making — snow ice cream doesn’t store well in the freezer.
  • Try variations like cocoa powder, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts for fun twists.
