I Scream you Scream we all Scream for Ice Cream!

       On a hot summer day I always crave ice cream. And Ice cream in a bag is a great way to get it fast.

What you'll need (This is the base of every ice cream)

  • Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full)
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 3 Tbs of ice cream salt
  • 4 Tbs of brown or white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (try powdered vanilla stronger flavor and beautiful aroma)
  • 1 quart-size ziplock bag
  • 1 gallon-size ziplock bag
  • Your favorite mixins such as chocolate chips, cereal pieces, or fresh fruit. (add topping in last so not to disrupt the freezing of the ice cream)

How to make it

  1. Combine the sugar, half and half, and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.
  2. Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag. Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5-10 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done. (So your hand doesn't freeze use a towel to shake the bag)
  3. Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag. Easy cleanup too! (Make sure to rinse off salt water on small bag in cool water)

       Here is some of my favorite flavors is adding butter vanilla instead of regular vanilla then add butterscotch chips at the end. Or melting the butterscotch chips and drizzling it on top.

        Another is you make a blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry sauces or simply use jam, let then cool add that in your half and half and freeze for a delicious mixed berry!

        Add about 3 Tbs of a homemade chocolate syrup and you have yummy chocolate ice cream. Add chocolate chips and you have chocolate chocolate chip ice cream! Or you could even add Oreos to a vanilla ice cream, or a candy bar like butter fingers even with peanut butter, be creative!

    My all time favorite is adding 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder to a regular vanilla with brown sugar, Then add Carmel sauce. For a Cinnamon Carmel treat! Doesn't get better than that!

           But If you want the most creamy, fattening, and sinful, Ice Cream you must go to my favorite ice cream shop in St. George. Go to Nealson's Custer Ice Cream Shack. I always get the Bumbelberry concrete! I have to have it at least once a year. Ok so its allot of ice cream but it is sinful delight remember! I should have a sweets shop were one menu says sinful delights and the others says "healthy I couldn't tell". LOL Enjoy!
