Ice Cream in a Bag

This is so much fun to do with the kids and let them do the shaking!! No need to have an ice cream maker either!! Once ice cream is finished you can add add ins too, crushed oreo's, gummy bears, m&m's, cookie dough, whatever you like!! Enjoy!!


Ice Cream in a Baggie:
1/2 C milk
1/4 C half and half
1 T sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 sandwich size Ziploc® bags
1 one gallon size Ziploc® bag
2 C ice
1 T coarse salt

Put one small Ziploc bag inside the other and add the milk, half and half, sugar, and vanilla extract to the inside bag. Seal both bags securely, removing excess air. Add ice and salt to larger bag and place smaller bag inside. Seal firmly. Let the kids shake themselves silly -- shaking, tossing, and turning the bag. Ice cream will be soft and ready to eat in 5 to 10 minutes.
