WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU SNOW, MAKE SNOW ICE CREAM! HOW DID I JUST NOW DISCOVER THIS?

Did you know it’s possible to make snow ice cream? I thought making ice cream was a somewhat labor intensive process and one I didn’t want to tackle. I was wrong. It’s easy if you make snow ice cream.

We celebrated a frigid, snowy February day in sophisticated style with this easy, fun and delicious recipe for snow ice cream. It’s perfect for any snow day. Because when life hands you lemons … you make lemonade, right? So when mother nature puts a lot of fluffy white snow in your backyard, cancelling plans and making driving treacherous, what do you do? You stay home and make ice cream! With snow!

First things first … is eating snow safe? The answer is “yes.” Snow was actually one of the first wild foods that humans foraged. But there are a few rules and suggestions you should follow according to John Pomeroy, a researcher who studies water resources and climate change at the University of Saskatchewan. His biggest suggestion is to wait until a few hours into the snowfall to gather your fresh catch. “Snow acts like a kind of atmospheric scrubbing brush,” state Pomeroy. “The longer the snow falls, the lower the pollution levels in the air, and thus in the snow.” A few other tips, some of which are painfully obvious:

  • Don’t use snow that has been plowed or shoveled
  • Always look to harvest bright, white snow
  • If possible, use snow that hasn’t been collected in an urban area

As you stir the snow will reduce by about half. Keep mixing, by hand, until thoroughly combined. It will take a few minutes. Mix in or top with desired candies, sprinkles or ice cream toppings; or enjoy plain. I used gold sprinkles to make it a tad fancy. (Recipe courtesy: Food.com)
