Ice Cream For Fun!

Ice Cream in a Bag

What You'll Need:
1 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup half & half
1/4 tsp vanilla
6 tbs rock salt (I bought "ice cream salt" in the baking aisle at Smith's)
1 pint-size Ziploc plastic bag
1 gallon-sze Ziploc plastic bag
Ice cubes

How to make it:
Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
Put half and half, vanilla, and sugar into small bag and seal it.
Place the small bag in the large one and seal again carefully.
Shake until mixture is ice cream, about 5-8 minutes.
Wipe off top of small bag (you don'g want to taste salt!) and then open and enjoy! It makes a 1/2 cup serving of vanilla ice cream.

I made this with my residents at work, and they loved it. It's a great thing to do with little kids too! You can also use chocolate milk to make chocolate ice cream.

*Tip: Wear oven mitts when you're shaking...it gets pretty cold! And try doubling the recipe to make a larger serving.
