Notes
We all know the basic rule of snow gathering.- no yellow snow. You want that fresh stuff. The stuff no one has stepped on and you want to get it not too long after the snowfall.
Depending on the texture of the snow, you may have to add more to get the consistency that you enjoy. If it seems too "watery" that means you need to add more snow.
Vanilla extract is not absolutely necessary but it really adds a kick of flavor. You can also use mint extract for a twist!
Don't have sweetened condensed milk? Just use a combination of milk and sugar. You'll have to stir and taste until you get it to the texture and flavor you love! The recipe will basically be the same: 8 cups snow (more or less depending on texture), 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until desired consistency is reached.
I highly recommend popping the can of sweetened condensed milk in the refrigerator before making snow cream. It keeps everything as cold as possible as you stir it all together!
Your snow ice cream can be kept in the freezer (in a covered, freezer-safe container) for about a week.
