Ice Cream in a Bag
Ingredients
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup homogenized milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 10 cups ice*
- 1/3 cup salt *
- Mix ins (recipes bellow)*
Directions
- In a bowl, mix together cream, milk, sugar and vanilla until sugar is dissolved.
- Divide cream mixture evenly between 4 small zip-lock plastic bags, putting a 1/2 cup portion into each bag. Squeeze out air and seal tightly.
- Add Mix Ins to individual bags as desired or leave plain for vanilla ice cream.
- In a large (approximately 4 L) tight-sealing container such as a Tupperware or Rubbermaid container, fill 3/4 with ice. Mix in salt.
- Add all 4 bags of cream mixture to the large container. Seal tightly.
