This is perhaps the easiest ice cream recipe out there! It is a ton of fun to make too! I first made this in Chemistry class a couple of years ago...so it is educational as well! Feel free to mess around with this one- maybe sneak a little malted milk in the mix, or a little chocolate syrup. It's is not exactly gourmet ice cream or anything, but it's tasty!

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup 1% low-fat milk (Or any kind of milk, I always have 1% in the house)
2 tablespoons sugar or artificial sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups ice cubes
1/4 cup rock salt (Whatever kind of salt you have on hand works fine)

Directions

1
In a quart-sized (regular) ziploc plastic bag, mix together the milk, sugar, and vanilla.
2
Seal the bag tightly, without leaving a lot of air inside.
3
(If you are a little paranoid about it leaking out, feel free to tape it up!).
4
In a gallon-sized ziploc plastic bag, mix the ice and salt.
5
Place the sealed quart-sized bag in the gallon-sized one.
6
Securely seal the gallon-sized bag without leaving very much air in the inside.
7
Shake, mush, and squish the bag for 6-10 minutes, or until the ice cream has set to a soft serve consistency.
8
Remove the inside bag (maybe even rinse off the salt) and you can either eat the ice cream right out of the bag with a spoon, or pour it into a small dish.
9
If you want the ice cream to be more firm, feel free to throw the bag into the freezer for a little while!
10
Enjoy!

I thought that this was the craziest method - my husband and I were laughing the whole time: we thought for certain that we were doing something wrong. Ha! I am so glad that it worked, and it made tasty ice cream too!! I doubled the recipe, using 2 gallon sized bags and used brown sugar instead of regular. Delicious, just what we wanted at the spur of the moment! Thank you :D

Oh this is so fun! I used skim milk, added 1.5 teas of vanilla and it was lovely. Not gourmet, but when you want a fun, cold snack, this is it! I can't wait to surprise my younger siblings with this! Thanks Bec!

I made 4 batches last night... I had so much fun! It was neat to have home made ice cream-- If it is a bit runny does that mean that it was not kneaded enough? It was frozen looking in the bag, but when i dipped some it was very melty. Delicious though!!

SO fun! I couldn't believe it worked. We used skim milk, since that is all I have around, but it still tasted pretty good. Next time I think I'll add some strawberries or chocolate chips!
